GRI“最受读者欢迎报告奖”请读者评选最优秀的可持续发展报告

GRI“最受读者欢迎报告奖”简介



请全世界的读者来评选最优秀的可持续发展报告



(2007年8月27日，荷兰 阿姆斯特丹)





每年，数千家企业发布各自的企业可持续发展报告。谁看这些报告呢？这些读者对这些报告做何感想？这些报告是否能够满足社区、投资者、员工、顾客、记者和非政府组织的需要？



GRI（全球报告倡议组织）的“最受读者欢迎报告奖”正是为回答上述问题而设，它为世界各地的报告读者们提供了一个发出自己声音的机会。经过GRI及其他合作伙伴（他们都是这一领域的领军人物）的精心准备，第一次全球范围的可持续发展报告网上评选活动于2007年10 月1日正式推出。



GRI率先推出“最受读者欢迎报告奖”评选的创意，以此触摸广大读者的阅读偏好，同时也为那些潜在的读者群了解到企业可持续发展信息为他们带来的价值。Mervyn E.King，GRI董事会主席指出：“这一评选活动将让大家认识到，企业可持续发展报告作为传统企业年报的补充，提供了股东及其他利益相关方对可持续发展的洞察。这已成为我们这一时代最炙手可热的议题。”GRI董事会于今年5月份的董事会议上批准了这一行动。



KPMG（荷兰毕马威）和SustainAbility，这两家在最终可持续发展报告领域趋势上全球领先的机构，将会在评选活动的同时推出一次调查，并在明年发布调查的分析结果。



ACCA（英国注册会计师协会）也是此次评选活动的合作伙伴之一。他们过去已经在欧洲、北美、非洲和亚洲地区开展颇受好评的报告评选活动。



此次评选出了奖励那些得分最高的报告以外，还会奖励那些由特定读者群，如投资者、劳工、民间社团、员工/管理层、媒体等，认为优秀的报告。评选也将针对非企业、小企业和非OECD（经济合作与发展组织）成员企业设立特别奖。



评选结果和调查结果都会在GRI明年的全球伙伴大会上宣布。此次大会题为“可持续发展与信息披露阿姆斯特丹国际会议”，将于在2008年5月7-9日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹举行。



请您投出宝贵的一票。从2007年10月1日起，您就可以登陆www.globalreporting.org，对您所工作的、您所持股的、您所了解的企业的可持续发展报告进行打分。

附注：关于GRI、最受读者欢迎报告奖、2008年会议的简介：





1. About GRI



The Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) vision is that reporting on economic, environmental, and social performance by all organizations becomes as routine and comparable as financial reporting. GRI accomplishes this vision by developing, continually improving, and building capacity around the use of its Sustainability Reporting Framework. An international network of thousands from business, civil society, labor, and professional institutions create the content of the Reporting Framework in a consensus-seeking process. The GRI’s Reporting Framework is largely seen as the global de facto standard in sustainability reporting.



2. About the GRI Readers’ Choice Awards



The Awards have been made possible by partnerships with KPMG, ACCA, TCS, SustainAbility, and sponsored by Rabobank and Acciona. The Award is overseen by a committee composed of the following prominent experts: Jacqueline Aloisi de Larderel (GRI Board Member), Judy Kuszewski (SustainAbility), Roger Adams (ACCA), Herman Mulder (Senior Advisor to the United Nations Global Compact), Aditi Haldar (Confederation of Indian Industry), Giuseppe van der Helm (Netherlands Organization of Sustainable Investors), Cornis van der Lugt (UNEP), and Mario Manzoni (Center of Sustainability Studies, Brazil). Everyone is invited to select the sustainability reports of interest to them and score them using five simple criteria. The scoring period is open from 1 October 2007 until 31 December 2007. The Awards and an accompanying survey report will be issued at the May 2008 Conference.



3. About the Conference



The second Amsterdam Global Conference on Sustainability and Transparency will take place from 7-9 May 2008 and will host innovative and pro-actively moderated debates on strategy questions that will shape the future of sustainability reporting. The conference features the publication of cutting-edge research regarding sustainability report usage and the presentation of the GRI Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Sustainability Reporting.
