The superannuation fund VicSuper has been given the Australian award for the best 2006 sustainability report by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

Danielle Welsh, who managed VicSuper’s project, said improvements to the 2006 report were more about technology and presentation than content. The main report went online and its web-based style of presentation enabled more detailed information to be better presented. Then a printed concise version was introduced containing less text but emphasizing visuals and readability. The presentation followed the Global Reporting Initiative G3 Guidelines.

There were 36 entries. The joint runners-up were last year’s winner mecu (banking) and the utility company WaterCare Services. BHP Billiton received a commendation award for the best report from an Australian Stock Exchange-listed entity.
