Which companies communicate best on sustainability? Have your say in the GRI Readers' Choice Awards as the scoring platform is now open
The Centre for Social Impact is a proud supporter of the 2010 Global Reporting Initative Reader's Choice Awards.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)- provider of the world's most widely used sustainability reporting framework - recently announced the opening of scoring for the second biennial Readers' Choice Awards in which the readers of sustainability reports have their say on the state of reporting today.
Sustainability reports allow businesses and other organisations to disclose their performance on a range of economic, environmental, and social issues. This information is increasingly sought by investors, employees, consumers, regulators and others who are looking for information on how an organisation is responding to critical sustainability issues including climate change, resource use, human rights and product responsibility.
The number of organisations issuing such reports has reached a record high, but what do the readers of the reports think of them? In their eyes which reports deserve recognition?
It is hoped that the combination of the Readers' Survey and the Reporters' Survey will provide very valuable insights about the information readers really want. The two perspectives will be analysed in order help organisations provide readers with the information they need and want.
There's no judge, and no jury in the GRI Readers' Choice Awards. It is the readers of sustainability reports, and them alone, who decide which reports deserve recognition.
The awards and survey results will be announced at the 2010 Amsterdam Global Conference on Sustainability and Transparency, to be held on 26 - 28 May 2010.
