CASE STUDIES & BEST PRACTICES
Reporting & Consulting
Fairmount Minerals Ltd.
Fairmount Minerals retained BrownFlynn in July 2006 to develop a comprehensive corporate social responsibility plan and to create the company’s first-ever corporate social responsibility report. By training employee volunteers in a stakeholder engagement process, BrownFlynn helped Fairmount Minerals identify key social, environmental and economic impacts – essentially, creating internal social and environmental audits. BrownFlynn analyzed the feedback and information against current corporate reporting trends to develop a report informed by stakeholder input.
In April 2007, BrownFlynn finalized Fairmount Minerals’ 2006 Corporate Social Responsibility Report. This report provides a snapshot of Fairmount Minerals’ sustainable development efforts and activities over the year and set short- and long-term company goals. The report was prepared and verified in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative standards as well as the United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress requirements.

Global Specialty Chemical Company – S&P 400 (Midcap)
With over 4 billion (USD) in revenues, this client produces and supplies technologies that improve the quality and performance of products in the global transportation, industrial and consumer markets. In 2007, BrownFlynn guided the company through the process of sustainability reporting, building on the company’s own history of Environmental Health & Safety reporting and creating for the client a reporting framework that highlighted its original corporate philosophy.
The corporate citizenship report outlined key social, environmental and economic impacts of company activities. As part of the reporting process, BrownFlynn recommended that the company state performance goals and provide transparent accounting for progress on key indicators such as carbon footprint, community investment and corporate governance.
After finalizing its first-ever corporate citizenship report with BrownFlynn, this client committed to tracking new goals related to sustainability and publicly reporting again in 2008.
