Integrated Reporting - Website Data Categories
Technology, particularly the Internet, has altered the way information is presented and communicated. Traders, institutions, analysts, agencies, governments and regulators alike all use the data available online as they go about their daily business. In response, companies are shifting from a document-based business culture to one that is based on access to data. Website data categories may include, for example: About, News, Investors, Customers, Sustainability, Governance and Careers. These categories offer a compromise for the dissemination of general purpose information and the delivery of data to meet the specific needs of stakeholder groups, such as investors and customers. For an example of these data categories, as either a first-level or second-level menu category, refer to the PotashCorp website.
