An example - CEO of Gold Fields“The sustainability of our business is ensured by understanding the linkages between all of the inputs and outputs of our operations, enabling us to maximise the benefits for all stakeholders and reduce the risks to the business. Integrated thinking underpins this approach . . .. . . the objective (in 2016) will be to explain in greater detail how integrated thinking is factored into our business decisions. Our integrated reporting will be an output of this thinking.” (IR 2015)

How does the Integrated Report fit with Integrated Thinking?• The report is the visible tip of the iceberg•Many companies have said their integrated report has
brought significant internal management benefits by helping to embed integrated thinking • Some stakeholders see the quality of the integrated report as
a proxy for quality of management in the organisation• The report is the voice of the governing body

How do you know when Integrated Thinking is embedded…“When there is no longer separation between non-financial and financial performance on the company-wide acceptance that each affects the other. When all functions and divisions share in the company’s strategy and work together to achieve it. When decision-making is carried out with a longer-term view on value creation and how the decisions impact on the company’s resources and its relationships.”
