New sustainability reporting framework for NGOs
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has launched a NGO (non-government-organisation) Sector Supplement to help NGOs assess their sustainability performance.
GRI provides a sustainability reporting framework, which sets out general principles and indicators that any type of organisation can use to measure and report on their economic, environmental, and social performance.
The NGP Sector Supplement, developed by input from international NGOs including Amnesty, World Vision and Greenpeace, responds to the specific needs that NGOs face, such as ethical fundraising, prevention of corruption, and affected stakeholder management.
“The NGO Sector Supplement equips charities with a strong tool for transparent reporting on the important impacts they are achieving,” said Victoria Coleman, network manager of the Australian GRI Focal Point.
