New sustainability resources and proposals from the Global Reporting Initiative
03 Feb 2011
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) publishes a widely used 'Sustainability Reporting Framework'.
The Framework includes Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (currently in their third version, or "G3 Guidelines") which entities can follow in preparing sustainability reports. The GRI has recently publicly issued a number of documents and resources:
- a new "G3 Checklist" designed to help reporting organisations further implement the guidelines in their sustainability reporting
- a draft Construction and Real Estate Sector Supplement, sector-specific sustainability reporting guidance for organisations in these fields
- Arabic and Bulgarian translations of the Level C Reporting template, which can be used to prepare a basic sustainability report (other translations are also available).
The GRI website can be accessed at www.globalreporting.org.
