Where they are available, the report utilizes<br />
generally accepted protocols for compiling,<br />
measuring, and presenting information, including<br />
the GRI Technical Protocols for Indicators contained<br />
in the Guidelines.<br />
The report uses GRI <strong>Sector</strong> <strong>Supplement</strong>s, where<br />

Accuracy<br />
Definition: The reported information should be<br />
sufficiently accurate and detailed for stakeholders to<br />
assess the reporting organization’s performance.<br />
Explanation: Responses to economic, environmental,<br />
and social topics and Indicators can be expressed<br />
in many different ways, ranging from qualitative<br />
responses to detailed quantitative measurements.<br />
The characteristics that determine accuracy vary<br />
according to the nature of the information and the<br />
user of the information. For example, the accuracy of<br />
qualitative information is largely determined by the<br />
degree of clarity, detail, and balance in presentation<br />
within the appropriate Report Boundary. The accuracy<br />
of quantitative information, on the other hand, may<br />
depend on the specific methods used to gather, compile,<br />
and analyze data. The specific threshold of accuracy that<br />
is necessary will depend partly on the intended use of<br />
the information. Certain decisions will require higher<br />
levels of accuracy in reported information than others.<br />

The data measurement techniques and bases for<br />
calculations are adequately described, and can be<br />

The margin of error for quantitative data is not<br />
sufficient to substantially influence the ability of<br />
stakeholders to reach appropriate and informed<br />
conclusions on performance.<br />
The report indicates which data has been<br />
estimated and the underlying assumptions and<br />
techniques used to produce the estimates, or<br />
where that information can be found.<br />
The qualitative statements in the report are valid<br />
on the basis of other reported information and<br />
other available evidence.<br />
