Abstract: In this paper, it will be shown how generation, editing and management of structured contents for environmental reports can be supported. The main focus thereby is an automated transformation of eco-balances into XML form and integration into environmental reports. These already consistently structured contents are the basis for an automated generation of environmental reports for presentation and publication.

Keywords: environmental reports; Document Type Definition; DTD; eXtensible Markup Language; XML; eco-balance data; environmental reporting.
