History

Public reporting on sustainability is now common practice in the private sector among a range of diverse businesses. Reporting on the social, economic and environmental aspects of business activity has increased dramatically in recent years. Issues of reputation, efficiency risk and stakeholder management are fundamentally issues of social, environmental and broader economic origin and impact and have direct links to business profitability. The GRI’s Sustainability Reporting Guidelines have been in use by business globally for more than 4 years. The Guidelines are used by more than 950 organisations as the foundation for their sustainability reports.

GRI’s Sector Supplement for Public Agencies (SSPA)

In November 2004 the GRI commenced work on the development of
a ‘supplement’ for public agencies to similarly report on their performance towards sustainability.

SSPA was launched in Melbourne in March 2005 with the intent to provide guidance, in conjunction with the whole GRI framework, to public agencies seeking to report their sustainability performance. Simultaneous to the launch of the SSPA was the launch of a new Centre, the Centre for Public Agency Sustainability Reporting, which aims to improve the sustainability performance of public agencies through the practice of reporting.
