GRI Guidelines win recognition

GRI survey... The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines now rank among the most widely recognised CSR instruments among large European companies, according to new research published by the European Commission. A survey of the public CSR statements of 200 randomly selected large companies suggests that the GRI Guidelines are now referred to almost as frequently as the UN Global Compact. Referred to by 31 per cent of the sample companies, the GRI Guidelines were the second most frequently referenced CSR instrument, closely following the UN Global Compact at 32 per cent.
