Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) produces a comprehensive Sustainability Reporting Framework that is widely used around the world to promote organizational transparency. It sets out the principles and indicators organizations can use to report their economic, environmental, and social performance.
In China, such international frameworks fill an important governance gap and are gaining significant traction. Companies in China face increased scrutiny and stakeholder expectations in the wake of the development of an active consumer society and the rise of local social media. They are increasingly recognizing that sustainability reports are an important tool to communicate information on corporate environmental efforts and community impact. But how reliable are these reports, and how can sustainability reporting be improved in China?
