Conclusions CSR is a new issue to all companies, of all sectors The nuclear industry is riding with the CSR agenda – and setting standards CSR should be integrated throughout business – it is not only a communications issue There are no rules Nuclear industry can benefit from sharing ideas and experiences Stakeholder engagement and stakeholder dialogue is critical

Discussion points What are the risks associated with CSR reporting? What are the opportunities associated with CSR reporting? Communications professionals are aware of the issues important to stakeholders – – What are the issues? – Who are the stakeholders? CSR reporting may invite additional scrutiny into nuclear companies activities. Can the nuclear industry withstand this scrutiny?
