Join in and learn about Sustainability Reporting for federal agencies and how the GRI format can help! Our IC has a sustainability report and our agency, DHHS is currently working on their first report based on the Sustainability Strategic Performance Plan (SSPP) from 2010.
Having our own report allows us to set metrics and goals that not only support our mission but encourages our employees to actively participate in where their institute is headed. It also allows us to venture beyond environmental-only reporting and set goals specific to the needs of our people, our community, and our institute. The Global Reporting Initiative’s format is in depth and straightforward. Their system of reporting allows you to choose how best to report for your institution.
Because we are not in DC we are subject to different state and local regulations. However, EO 13514 still impacts our everyday choices. These and other issues make it important for you to become more aware while considering a sustainability report for your company or institute as well. This system will also help break down ‘silos’ and build relationships among groups that usually do not interact helping to make a more cohesive and collaborative group.
