Cautionary notes
> The reports indexed are those who made top 200 (1999 to 2005) or top 300 (from 2006) minimum one time.
The thousands of companies selected and the hundreds of annuals having ranked lower than top 200 (until 2005) or top 300 (from 2006) do not appear in the list.
> An empty cell may indicate that: (a) the company was not selected; (b) the report was not rated; (c) the report was not made available on time; (d) the report ranked below top 200 (until 2005) or top 300 (from 2006); (e) the company doesn't exist as such anymore.
> Due to a limited selection of companies and a less representative sample of reports, top 100 rankings from 1996 through 1998 have not been taken into account.
> Due to changes in local or international reporting standards and to modifications in report assessment criteria over the period, ranking comparisons should be made with caution.
Examples: Design and style weighting was higher in the early years. Governance, responsibility, strategy, risk matters, online versions have been increasingly assessed. Etc.
> Company names are the ones in use on report ranking dates. However, if names have been changed we have done our utmost to update them.
> In 2006 a separate top 50 for the financial sector was published.
> In 2007, selections of annual reports were rated but no ranking was published. Hence the absence of column for that year. See the related Annual Report on Annual Reports for details.
> For crisis, comparability, consistency and credibility reasons, reports from the financial sector have not been ranked since 2009.
> Check Annual Reports on Annual Reports archive on www.reportwatch.net for more details including report ratings, attributes and comments.
