SECTION I: ESG AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
REPORTING: AN INTRODUCTION
Integrated reporting is a combination of traditional financial reporting that includes an annual
report, and/or Security and Exchange (SEC) required 10-K, and an ESG report. The benefit of an
integrated report is that shareholders, analysts, and other users of this information are provided
with a broader understanding of a company’s risks, opportunities, and potential value creation.
To learn more about the evolution of Integrated Reporting and ESG, go to the following link,

SECTION III: ESG SCORES AND INDICES
ESG scores are used to measure company risk beyond what financial analysis can provide. High
ESG scores signal a company’s commitment to best practices in the environmental, social, and
governance areas. ESG scores range from 0-100 and a score of more than 70 is said to be
excellent. A score below 50 signifies poor performance.1

CONCLUDING COMMENTS
At the beginning of this project, you were visiting various websites, and answering general
questions about ESG and corporate responsibility. Next, you were exposed to global standard
setting organizations, reporting standards, ESG scores and ESG indices. Finally, you reviewed
Chipotle’s most current ESG report. All of this is accomplished while answering questions along
the way. The project closed with your written evaluation of Chipotle’s ESG corporate
responsibility efforts and outcomes. The experience of working through this project develops a
comprehensive working knowledge about ESG and corporate responsibility.

Watch the Deloitte video link below one more time. You should have a much greater
appreciation, insight, and knowledge about company sustainability and corporate responsibility
practices and reporting. We hope it placed a smile on your face when you witnessed Chipotle’s
efforts.
