The Board of the Global Reporting Initiative has issued the Amsterdam Declaration on Transparency and Reporting.
The Board calls on government to design policies requiring companies to address publicly environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.
According to GRI’s Board, the governments should:
- introduce policies requiring companies to report on ESG factors or publicly explain why they have not done so.
- require ESG reporting by public bodies – in particular: state owned companies, government pension funds and public investment agencies.
- integrate sustainability reporting within the emerging global financial regulatory framework being developed by leaders of the G20.
