Sydney: Wednesday, 1st November 2006
Venue: Dept of State & Regional Development,
Melbourne: Monday, March 5th 2007,
Venue: CGU Offices, 485 La Trobe St, Melbourne
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) have only just launched their 3rd Generation of Sustainability Reporting guidelines, dubbed ‘G3’. The guidelines are now available online for reporter and stakeholders. The G3 is the biggest change to the biggest sustainability reporting standard in years.
Sydney
This event will explore some of the key changes to the GRI, and what they mean for Australian reporters. Some of those issues include:
More guidance on what to report
The reporting principles give more practical methods of determining what content, quality, and boundaries your sustainability report should have. How will this change the report content for your organisation?
More disclosure on strategy and management approach
Designed to set the performance based indicators in a ‘big picture’ context, there are new disclosure requirements on sustainability strategy and management. How will boards react to these requirements in competitive environments?
Indicators: fewer, revised and performance focused
The number of indicators has dropped from 97 to 79, and many of the indicators have been changed to be more performance focused. How will this affect your data collection? What are the implications for trend reporting and target setting?
Four levels of reporting with G3
Rather than simply categorising reports as ‘with reference to’ or ‘in accordance’, G3 will class reports into four levels, depending on the extent to which the GRI has been applied. What level will your report be?
SpeakersLinda Funnell-Milner, Corporate ResponseAbility & Chair of the GRI Stakeholder Council
Linda was a keynote speaker at the recent GRI conference in Amsterdam, where she spoke about the implementation of G3. She’ll be outlining the key changes from G2 to G3.

Sam has recently been elected to the GRI Stakeholder Council, and was at the launch of G3 in Amsterdam. She’ll be giving her perspective on what the changes mean for sustainability reporters like IAG.
Tony Mohr, Associate Director, Total Environment Centre & Green Capital
The G3 has a renewed emphasis on stakeholder engagement, so Tony will give an overview of what TEC and Green Capital hope to see from GRI G3 reports.
