After two years of collaborating with our Environmental, Social and Governance Report and a full year of learning about sustainability reporting, I'm excited to announce that I am now a GRI Certified Sustainability Professional! A bit about the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards: - These are the most widely used standards for sustainability reporting. - They help businesses, governments and organizations understand and communicate about their impacts on the economy, environment and people, including their human rights. - By following the GRI standards, organizations can enhance their credibility, transparency, and accountability in sustainability. #GRI #SustainabilityReporting #CorporateSustainability #GRIStandards #HumanRights #GRIprofessional

There are 8 key principles in sustainability reporting under GRI reporting. Whilst not every company needs to use the GRI standards I think that these principles are really good guidelines to keep the report meaningful. One of them is clarity. Using clear and concise language as well as linking the company's impact against the SDGs help readers better understand the contents of the report. Another principle that I think is really important is comparability, so that the audience can see the progress made over time. This can be represented by tables that compare the progress on measured metrics over the years. Although, this is not very common in many reports. There are usually two main reasons why companies do not share comparable data. Most commonly it is because they are reporting their metrics for the first time. It is also possible that they haven't been able to keep consistent measures across the years that they have been making these reports. It is true that through trial and error, companies need to look at improving the way they measure their impact over time and this often means adjustments in the assumptions of the data. The problem with not being consistent is that apart from possibly being seen as "non-transparent" is that you do not have a clear way to demonstrate the progress you make towards business for good. So it is in the interest of the business to try and identify at an early stage some key metrics that they want to start measuring from the get go to help reflect the efforts, investments and positive changes in a quantitative manner. #babayagaconsultancy #sustainabilityconsultant #bcorp #bleader #gri #esgreporting #sustainabilityreporting #smallbusiness
