§ Research Services

o The site offers a range of additional services, statistics and links.
· GRI Global Reporting Initiative
o The GRI's vision is that reporting on economic, environmental, and social performance by all organizations becomes as routine and comparable as financial reporting. GRI accomplishes this vision by developing, continually improving, and building capacity around the use of its Sustainability Reporting Framework.
· ESRA The European Sustainability Reporting Association
o Our aim is to improve Sustainability Reporting by sharing trends and best practice across European countries.
o The European Sustainability Reporting Awards have been held since 1995. Winners from national awards schemes are entered into the scheme and an overall European winner selected by a panel of judges.
o In 2006, for the first time, the European participants are focusing on sharing European reporting developments and best practice from both country-specific and regional perspectives. This is (perhaps temporarily, ??) replacing the European Awards scheme and the ESRA acronym now stands for "European Sustainability Reporting Association", whose purpose is "to inspire and improve sustainability reporting in Europe by sharing developments of European countries".
o ESRA was formed by national accountancy bodies and is not a legally registered entity. Each accountancy body has appointed a member to represent it in ESRA.
