Go-Ahead Group
Go-Ahead is one of the largest public transport groups in the UK. Its businesses include train companies Southern and Thameslink, as well as bus companies London General and London Central. We have been working with Go-Ahead for five years.
In our first year, we verified the Go-Ahead Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report. In the second year, we verified the report again, but also provided advice and guidance to the in-house team on what should be included to keep Go-Ahead up with the best CSR reporters. In our third year, we were asked to manage the entire CSR reporting process - from overseeing data collection through to drafting the content. We also did the verification with appropriate Chinese walls.
Last year and in 2006, we managed the production of group-wide PDF and web reports complemented by individual company summary reports, an innovation introduced to allow the reporting process to be more responsive to stakeholders.
Go-Ahead has been recognised as one of the top 100 ‘Companies that Count’ in the prestigious Corporate Responsibility Index from Business in the Community. Having never featured in the list before, GoAhead was rated 69th in 2005 and received ‘gold’ status in 2006.
