Sustainability Reporting Guidelines

Searching through internet it was quite overwhelming of the various sustainability reports and how are they all so different in contents. Finally I found that they are guidelines that companies can follow when putting together this report.

According to GRI a Sustainability reporting is the practice of measuring, disclosing, and being accountable to internal and external stakeholders for organisational performance towards the goal of sustainable development. For many companies a sustainability report provides a balanced and reasonable representation of the sustainability performance of an organisation – including both positive and negative contributions.

GRI provides a reporting framework of what companies need to include in their sustainability reports.
The GRI Reporting Framework is intended to serve as a generally accepted framework for reporting on an organisation’s economic, environmental, and social performance. It is designed for use by organisations of any size, sector, or location. It takes into account the practical considerations faced by a diverse range of organisations – from small enterprises to those with extensive and geographically dispersed operations

This framework is divided into two parts:
Part 1: Reporting principles and guidance
Part 2: Standard disclosures
