(1) About GRI and AA1000AS
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) issues the most recognized and most commonly-used sustainability reporting guidelines by organizations for disclosure about their sustainability performance, and also provides stakeholders a universally-applicable, comparable framework in which to understand disclosed information. Up to Jan 2007, nearly 1000 organizations from over 60 countries adopt GRI reporting framework. AccountAbility 1000 Assurance Standard (AA1000AS) is a process standard for assessing the credibility and quality of an organisation’s social, economic and environmental reporting. Stakeholder engagement is central to the AA1000AS. Reporting organizations base on AA1000AS to demonstrate they are open, engaging and responsive to stakeholder perceptions and expectations.
