Telkom Annual Report 2009
Global reporting initiative (GRI) content index
Telkom has opted for an incremental adoption of the guidelines to the GRI index, the full adoption will include a quality assurance and
compliance audit report. In many cases, Telkom’s internal reporting frameworks pre-date external frameworks, hence this is presented as
a navigation aid as opposed to a “tick-box” compliance exercise.
