CDP and GRI to Coordinate Reporting Guidelines Recently, GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) have produced a document showing the similarities and differences between the GRI’s indicators and the CDP questionnaire. At least 2500 organizations globally use CDP’s questionnaire to report climate change data, while over 1,300 organizations from 64 countries published a GRI-based sustainability report in 2009. Because climate change reporting is becoming increasingly important, and because considerable overlap exists between GRI’s indicators and CDP’s questions relating to energy consumption and GHG emissions, the two organizations have agreed to collaborate in an effort to standardize the practice. To that end, the two organizations have published a linkage document to coordinate a more efficient reporting mechanism. The document consists of a table that compares the relevant indicators and questions and reveals the similarities as well as the disparities. This table includes the relevant GRI G3 Profile Disclosures and Performance Indicators (plus Indicator Protocol Compilation section) and relevant CDP questions from the 2010 questionnaire where overlap between the two was found. This will enable reporters to use or adapt the same data in both reporting processes. GRI is in the process of updating its Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, and plans to incorporate the findings of the linkage document in order to align its new guidelines with those of CDP. In addition, the organizations will collaborate to achieve greater alignment on industry-specific sector questionnaires. https://www.cdproject.net/en-US/WhatWeDo/CDPNewsArticlePages/linking-up-GRI-and-CDP.aspx
