Global Reporting Initiative
Transparency and proper governance go hand in hand. In addition to facilitating the self-assessment process within enterprises, transparency gives investors access to the information they need to assess the performances of enterprises listed on capital markets.
A Framework to Standardize Performance Reporting
The goal of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is to standardize reporting for enterprises with regard to their economic, environmental and social performances. The GRI guidelines are designed for organizations of all sizes, locations, and sectors. They take into account the practical considerations facing organizations in their diversity, from small to large, multi-site enterprises. These guidelines include the principles defining the contents of the report and guaranteeing the quality of the information that is issued. They also include essential information elements such as performance indicators, as well as tips on specific technical aspects of reporting.
Bâtirente’s Commitment
Since 2004, we have been producing an annual report and a sustainable development report based on the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Moreover, we have made repeated requests for enterprises in our portfolios to conduct the same exercise.
