Sustainability reporting and harmonization

GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is the independent, international organization that helps businesses and other organizations take responsibility for their impacts, by providing them with the global common language to communicate those impacts. We work with businesses, investors, policymakers, civil society, labor organizations and other experts to develop the GRI Standards and promote their use by organizations around the world.The GRI Standards are the most widely used sustainability reporting standards globally. The Standards are advancing the practice of sustainability reporting, and enabling organizations and their stakeholders to take action that creates economic, environmental, and social benefits for everyone.

Is there a need for a single and unified global set of internationally recognized sustainability reporting standards? Do companies need to choose between the GRI Standards and the ISSB’s forthcoming IFRS Standards? Will the collaboration of the IFRS Foundation and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) address the reporting needs of all stakeholders while ensuring a healthy balance between sustainability impact reporting and enterprise value? In the plenary session of GRI Asia Sustainability Conference, GRI brings together the leading players on this growing discussion on sustainability disclosures harmonization to give their insights and progress on their efforts towards creating a complementary standards for a two-pillar of international sustainability reporting – a first pillar representing investor-focused capital market standards of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards developed by the ISSB, and a second pillar of GRI sustainability reporting requirements set by the GSSB, compatible with the first, designed to meet multi-stakeholder needs.Agenda<ul><li>15:30 - 15:35 Welcome Remarks and Session Introduction Nicole Ward-Boot, Head of Program Management &amp; Implementation, GRI</li><li>15:35 - 16:20 Panel discussion Updates on GRI-ISSB collaboration - Speakers: Eelco van der Enden, CEO, GRI; Mardi McBrien, Director, IFRS Foundation; Moderator: Junice Yeo, Executive Director &amp; Head of ESG Intelligence, EcoBusiness </li><li>1﻿6:20 - 16:25 Audience Q&A </li><li>16:25 - 16:50 Panel discussion GRI-ISSB collaboration: a game-changer for ESG reporting? -Speakers: Tan Boon Gin, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Exchange Regulation; Raj Mullick, Senior Executive Vice President, Reliance Industries Limited; Mark Harper, Group Head of Sustainability, John Swire &amp; Sons., H.K.
