If you were CEO of your company, would you voluntarily report under the GRI and CDP?
Yes I would voluntarily report under the GRI and CDP, GRI and CDP are the UK-based organization that supports companies and cities to highlight the environmental impact of large corporations. Its purpose is to make environmental reporting and risk management a business standard and to promote awareness and action towards a sustainable economy.
CDP implemented the GRI concept of environmental disclosure in
2002, focusing on individual companies rather than countries. At
the time, CDP had only 35 investors sign their requests for weather
information, and 245 companies responded. Today, almost a fifth of
global greenhouse gas emissions are reported through the CDP.
CDP and GRI Work with investors, companies, cities, states and
regions for a waterproof world.
Some corporations have higher greenhouse gas emissions than their
respective state. Some leading companies have changed to carbon
neutral, but others have the opportunity to reduce their energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions using energy efficiency
and business planning methods.
