  • 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).

Vol. 1, Iss. 2; pg. 48, 15 pgs Abstract (Article Summary) Using the play "Tamara" as a metaphor, Landrum shows how the sharing of stories helps construct an image of what is happening in the athletic apparel industry. The rhetoric of Nike and Reebok from their letters to shareholders is reviewed. Full Text (5371 words) Copyright TamaraLand Publishers 2001 [Headnote] ABSTRACT [Headnote] Using the play Tamara as a metaphor, this paper shows how the sharing of stories helps construct an image of what is happening in the athletic apparel industry. We review the rhetoric of Nike and Reebok from their letters to shareholders found in their annual reports to discern their strategy and the image they are projecting. Nike primarily uses Denial as their rhetorical stance regarding environmental and social responsibility while Reebok primarily uses Flagship Implementation as their rhetorical stance. These findings lend support to research showing a negative correlation between corporate social responsibility and profitability. Introduction We are witness to the metamorphosis of late capitalism, the interpenetration of postindustrialism with postmodern culture. Spectators (consumers and investors) are given only narrative fragments to construct worker and ecological stories from the vantage points of entry authored by corporate public relations. Corporate authorial-power becomes hegemonic as narrative plots script actions and perception in ways unseen or taken for granted. Consumers in the first world cannot see the ecological or work conditions because these locations are kept as strategic "secrets." All one ever hears are stories directly authored by corporate interests acting as gatekeeper, authoring ventriloquist stories on behalf of workers and ecology.

  • Environmental Protection in the Information Age
    ARTICLES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE INFORMATION AGE DANIEL C. ESTy* Information gaps and uncertaintieslie at the heart of many persistentpollution and natural resource management problems. This article develops a taxonomy of these gaps and argues that the emerging technologies of the Information Age will create new gap-filling options and thus expand the range of environmental protection strategies. Remote sensing technologies, modern telecommunications systems, the Internet, and computers all promise to make it much easier to identify harms, track pollution flows and resource consumption, and measure the resulting impacts. These developments will make possible a new structure of institutionalresponses to environmental problems including a more robust market in environmental prop- erty rights, expanded use of economic incentives and market-based regulatorystrat- egies, improved command-and-control regulation, and redefined social norms of environmental stewardship. Likewise, the degree to which policies are designed to promote information generation will determine whether and how quickly new insti- tutional approaches emerge. While some potential downsides to Information Age environmental protection remain, the promise of a more refined, individually tai- lored, and precise approach to pollution control and natural resourcemanagement looks to be significant.

    WHITE PAPER Fashion & Environment AN OVERVIEW OF FASHION’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION Contents 01 ABSTRACT PAGE 4 Impacts and opportunities. 02 FOREWORD PAGE 6 From BFC and DHL 03 INTRODUCTION PAGE 10 The rise of the global fashion industry. 04 THE GLOBAL AGENDA PAGE 15 The Sustainable Development Goals. 05 SIGNALS OF CHANGE PAGE 19 Exploring pathways to sustainability. 06 WHAT NEXT? PAGE 37 Recommendations for the industry. 07 APPENDIX PAGE 52 Additional context and references. 3 Abstract The global fashion industry has a far-reaching impact on the natural environment, from the extraction of raw materials to the production, distribution, wear and disposal of clothes. As the world’s population increases to a projected 8.5 billion people by 2030, annual global apparel consumption could rise by 63%, from 62 million tonnes today to 102 million tonnes—equivalent to more than 500 billion additional T-shirts1. The current fashion system is unsustainable, our biggest risk is to carry on as we currently operate. There is scientific consensus that we are in times of climate and ecological emergency as set out in the UN commissioned Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5° and Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. For the fashion industry to have a response commensurate with global environmental challenges, it will require a systems level change and development of a new fashion system based in a sustainability paradigm. Bringing about this change is complex given the global nature of the industry and its many different parts. However, a transformation of the fashion industry, addressing its environmental impacts, has been signalled and these approaches and innovations need to be scaled outwards and upwards.
