Hubbard has traded on his image as a "socially responsible" employer and his role in promoting so-called triple bottom line reporting, which assesses a company's social and environmental performance, as well as its financial results.
The front-page lead story is headlined 'Hubbard's triple bottom lie' and focuses on Hubbard's apparent claim on Wednesday Night's Face to Face programme, that Hubbard Foods had produced a triple bottom line report in 2001 and 2002, whereas he had earlier told NBR that it has produced one only in 2001.
At the time, I also took what Hubbard said to mean he'd done two reports, but the Newztel transcript of the interview tends to support his explanation.
