Thousands of companies issue sustainability reports each year, but who reads them and are they meeting the needs of the audiences they are intended for: investors, employees, customers, journalists, senior management, non-governmental organizations, and others?
GRI and its partners developed the GRI Readers' Choice Awards concept as a way to capture the preferences of readers and thereby help improve the value of reporting for all.
This was the first year for these awards. Nearly 800 reports were originally entered in the competition, 1725 people from 70 countries cast 5650 scores for these reports. A readers survey was conducted in conjunction with the award to which nearly 2300 responses were had.
Thanks to GRI Readers' Choice Award sponsors and partners ACCA, Acciona, KPMG, Rabobank, SustainAbility, TCS, and the UN Global Compact.
