Comment Constituency Region Reporting Relationship 1. Since supply chain is being introduced for the first time as part of Sustainability Reporting, GRI should have approached it by going the development of broad guidelines that are open, flexible and not prescriptive. This should have been the first step to bring sustainability into the supply chain before mandating particular fixed requirements for disclosure at a later date. Business Asia Reporter 2. Reporting grievances to the detail prescribed in the G4 Guidelines, as per indicators G4 7 and G4 10, can compromise on privacy and protection of the person who raised the grievance:- Disclosing details of grievances filed, by nature and location and specific party, may take away the confidentiality that is the essence of whistleblower policies. Grievance reporters require protection and therefore, public disclosure of ‘who’ and ‘where’, by stating the type of stakeholder and consequent diversity related disclosures of the person does not seem appropriate. 1. Since supply chain is being introduced for the first time as part of Sustainability Reporting, what was required was development of broad guidelines that are open, flexible and not prescriptive. This would help bring sustainability into the supply chain before mandating particular fixed requirements for disclosure in the future Business Asia Report Reader 2. Disclosing details of grievances filed, by nature, location and specific party, may take away the confidentiality that is the essence of whistleblower policies. Grievance reporters require protection and therefore, public disclosure of ‘who’ and ‘where’, by stating the type of stakeholder and consequent diversity related disclosures of the person does not seem appropriate. As explained, I fear the bar has been raised too much too quickly. Business Europe Reporter As per first comment, GHG protocol gives clearer guidance which may be easier to interpret and allow comparability between Business Oceania Reporter reports. As said : too complicated, too much information, too many repetitions Business Asia Report Reader Academic As with the changes on governance and remuneration, this is a massive new reporting requirement in an area in which most companies have not yet assigned in-depth focus. The detail of disclosure required means lots more work for reporters, and many may decide it's just not worth the effort. The link to the overall sustainability of an organization and some of the new Performance Indicator disclosures is tenuous. In practice, the number of reporting companies which will be able and willing to disclose at this level may be really very small.
