Linking GRI and CDP: Climate Change (2015)
2015-04-01Global Reporting Initiativeadmin0010
The updated linkage guidance reveals how GRI’s G4 Guidelines and CDP’s 2015 climate change questions are aligned. This alignment avoids duplication of disclosure efforts, easing the reporting burden for the thousands of companies that use GRI’s Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and CDP’s climate change and supply chain programs.
GRI and CDP have collaborated over the years to ensure alignment in their indicators on climate change and energy, improving the consistency and comparability of environmental data, and making corporate reporting more efficient and effective. Linking GRI and CDP: Climate Change (2015) provides practical cross-references for organizations that wish to use the two frameworks in conjunction, and the same data points in both reporting channels. The information provided through either channel can form part of a sustainability report using the G4 Guidelines and/or to answer parts of CDP’s climate change questionnaire.
“The new publication will prove useful to the thousands of companies that use GRI's Guidelines and CDP's climate change and supply chain programs”, says Bastian Buck, Director Reporting Standard at GRI. “GRI and CDP’s GHG emission indicators are fully aligned thanks to their long-standing collaboration in the field of climate change. This partnership has helped bring greater clarification and alignment to reporting, and enhanced its value for a range of information users, including investors”.
Streamlining global reporting
This year, the two organizations will issue a new linkage document focused on water. This publication will highlight the linkages between the G4 Guidelines and CDP’s water questionnaire, and use the same format as the climate change linkage document.
“This harmonisation will help companies to streamline their disclosure efforts and improve the consistency and comparability of environmental data”, says Pedro Faria, Technical Director at CDP. “Effective corporate reporting is key to improving decision making and driving change towards a resource-efficient economy, which in turn will help to create long-term value for businesses.”
