                     What is the average annual growth rate in dividend per share over this
                     period?

                     A     2.3%


                     B     2.9%

               7     Percy Co’s directors are preparing a sustainability report in accordance with the
                     G4 guidance set out by the Global Reporting Initiative.

                     Percy Co is a large, listed manufacturing company with 10,000 employees and
                     operations in 25 countries around the world. However, this will be the first time
                     that Percy Co has presented a sustainability report.


                     Which of the following statements is correct?

                     A     Percy Co can choose whether to present core or comprehensive
                           disclosures.

                     B     Because it is a large listed company, Percy Co has to present
                           comprehensive disclosures.

                     C     Percy Co can present core disclosures in its first sustainability report, but
                           because it is a large listed company it has to move to comprehensive
                           disclosures thereafter.


                     D     Whether Percy Co has to present core or comprehensive disclosures will
                           be determined by the local laws in the country where Percy Co is listed.
