Integrated reporting seems to be gaining more and more traction, particularly in Europe. One major proponent of integrated reporting is the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). The IIRC states their purpose on their web site as:

The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is a global coalition of regulators, investors, companies, standard setters, the accounting profession and NGOs. Together, this coalition shares the view that communication about businesses’ value creation should be the next step in the evolution of corporate reporting.

As I understand it, the IIRC is in the process of getting an XBRL taxonomy acknowledged by XBRL International. It seems that the XBRL taxonomy has to do with the "integrated scorecard".
