Integrating SDGs into sustainability reporting
Transparency is fast becoming the new paradigm for conducting business. Transparency underlies Target 12.6 of the SDGs, to encourage companies to adopt sustainable practices and integrate sustainability information into their reporting. Through better reporting, organizations can understand, communicate, and better manage their contributions to the SDGs.
With CSRCB, GRI wants to contribute to better integration of SMEs into global value chains through:
- Developing SME capacity for sustainability reporting
- Enabling a conducive reporting environment
- Fostering demand for sustainability data
