Black Sun's Chief Executive Officer, Asia-Pacific Uantchern Loh has been featured in The Business Times' recent article, 'Time for a revamp of the annual report', discussing integrated reporting and how bringing together annual, sustainability and financial reports could be the way forward. 


 

Investors are increasingly interested in integrated reporting to appeal to various stakeholder groups looking to understand companies' strategy and approach, especially on sustainability issues. 

 


“PDF is a legacy issue, becuase people had to print last time, (they have) no choice. the medium is not as well-suited for digital consumption. Try reading an A3 spread on mobile phone using PDF. It's not readable.”

Uantchern Loh

 


Companies are still producing PDF reports as they are required under listing rules to provide physical copies to shareholders who request them, Loh said. And with significant money spent already on these reports, companies may be less willing to spend extra for websites. Loh therefore believes the requirement to provide physical copies should be eased, and investors who are interested in hardcopy annual reports can proceed to make the print versions themselves. 


“If we look at the technology for Web-to-print, meaning that you do a website (and are) able to print nice PDFs from the Web, the technology is available already,”
