The nonprofit Global Reporting Initiative is seeking comments on a draft of its third generation Guidelines for Sustainability Reporting.
The GRI is an independent “multi-stakeholder” organization that has developed voluntary guidelines for companies that report on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of their businesses. Those corporate reports, typically called “sustainability reports” that are issued annually alongside a company’s 10-K, have been filed by hundreds of global companies, such as Cisco, HP, Japan’s Hyundai, Germany’s Commerzbank, and others.
