The disclosure of information that is more than just financial by a company has become a necessity of the 21st century, and has driven the creation of several tools for communicating the social and environmental impact of companies, such as Social Balance, or Sustainability Reports. However, it has been observed that, often, the information contained within these reports is disconnected from the financial statements of the companies, which has led to discussions of integrated reporting. A group of studies was set up (an initiative of the Prince of Wales) in order to develop and provide some guidance on the integration of financial and non-financial information for the purposes of corporate reporting. Given the need for companies to integrate financial and non-financial information, to understand their impacts in other capitals, beyond the financial, and to show long-term value creation to their various stakeholders, especially capital investors, this study aimed, through an interventionist approach, to help SA Water Supply Company (SANASA) apply the guidelines presented by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) for integrated reporting, by suggesting the consolidation of the IIRC guidelines with those of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in a series of phases, to be applied in the preparation of its Sustainability Report. Three of these phases were executed in this study, which serve as models for the company studied (SANASA) and can be used by other companies wishing to implement integrated reporting of financial and non-financial information according to both the IIRC guidelines and GRI guidelines. During the execution of these phases it was observed that the IIRC guidelines are broad, calling for meetings and training investments so that the company can incorporate integrated thinking into its actions, and thus result in a medium- to long-term process. The study also elaborates on the contributions, opportunities and challenges that occurred throughout the process of incorporating IIRC guidelines as they relate to the practical implementation of the integrated report and also as they differentiate the IIRC guidelines from others, facilitating the discussion about this new form of communication, which has been created to meet the specific needs of this century.
