A Closer Look at Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting: a Worldwide Sector Analysis
A CLOSER LOOK AT GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING: A WORLDWIDE SECTOR ANALYSIS Abstract This study analyses the worldwide diffusion of the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) Sustainability Report in all economic sectors from 1999-2011. The logistic curve model (s-shaped curve) is used to assess the current situation on both a global scale and a local scale. Additionally, instability and concentration indices are used to analyse whether the diffusion process developed in a homogeneous manner across economic sectors. Close attention has been paid to the two leading sectors worldwide, although for different reasons: the financial and energy sectors. Findings suggest that energy sector has adopted GRI reporting in an effort to be more sustainable as being more visible, polluting and international. On the other hand, the financial sector could regain market credibility and attract new investors, and GRI reporting could help it to construct a new identity defined by legitimate behaviours and an improved image The paper concludes with some reflections on the usefulness of these reports and trends. Key Words: Global Reporting Initiative; GRI; sustainability reporting; sustainability reporting diffusion; stakeholders; sustainable development; environmental policy. A CLOSER LOOK AT GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING: A WORLDWIDE SECTOR ANALYSIS 1. INTRODUCTION Currently, information beyond what is available in financial statements is crucial for companies to maintain a trusting relationship with their stakeholders (Krajnc and Glavic, 2005; Gilbert and Rache, 2007; Alonso-Almeida, 2009). In the past two decades, environmental and social concerns have continuously been increasing (Melé et al., 2006; Skouloudis et al., 2009). Even governments have started applying greater pressure on companies to be more compliant with regulations or recommendations (Delmas and Toffel, 2008; Prado-Lorenzo et al., 2009; Delmas and Montes- Sancho, 2010). -

TRIAN PARTNERS NOMINATES FOUR HIGHLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION TO DUPONT BOARD Referendum On Performance DuPont Board Has Not Held Management Accountable For Repeatedly Missing Promised Revenue And Earnings Targets Newly Revealed Poor Corporate Governance At Chemours Shows Board Disconnect From DuPont Stockholders NEW YORK, January 8, 2015 – Trian Fund Management, L.P.

Trian believes the DuPont Board has not held management accountable for continuing underperformance and repeated failures to deliver publicly stated -
