In partnership with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), we have looked at 40 international companies that use GRI Guidelines to try and understand how new digital technologies are shaping sustainability reporting.

The research looks at online reporting from a variety of perspectives – from the mechanics of format and functionality, to the shift from ‘a report’ to ‘reporting’ that can occur when content moves from print to online. The research is available to view online now at: www.sustainabilityreportingonline.com

This event will be hosted by Tom Rotherham, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Radley Yeldar, and Sean Gilbert, Technical Director at the Global Reporting Initiative. The event follows the publication of our Trends in online sustainability reporting research in May 2009.

As well as providing and overview of the research, this event will also explore the implications of a shift to digital reporting might - both for have on sustainability reporting in general and for a reporting standard such as GRI.

We'd also like to gather feedback from you, the people producing Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Reports, to inform our future research on this topic.
