BSR Special Advisor and co-founder of the Global Reporting Initiative Allen White writes about the quiet renaissance in corporate reporting that is gradually transforming its purpose, content and readership. The "New Wine, New Bottles" business brief is available for viewing at www.bsr.org.

In a few short years, a new generation of non-financial reporting will have moved from the extraordinary to the exceptional to the expected, and in the process will establish a new standard of transparency unimaginable even a decade ago. White describes how, for forward-looking companies, opportunities abound to stake out leadership positions among investors, customers, communities, activists and other stakeholders, while reaping the benefits associated with trust and integrity in global markets.
