Accounting Sustainability Report
Overview:
Accounting Sustainability Report. Ethics of corporate managers is addressed on page 12 of the textbook. However, additional source of ethics is available from the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) (google it). Therefore, Sustainability Accounting is addresse-d on pages 12 to 13 of the textbook. Please review.
On page 320 and 421of the textbook, you are introduce-d to The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). However, while European companies have embraced sustainability reporting much quicker than companies based in the USA. Also most public companies are now reporting in some way, shape or form, how they treat the planet, people and profits.
Analysis:
The GRI has decommissioned the Sustainability Data of Reports. You have to research (google it) a company you are interest in and find the GRI sustainability report. However, read the report of at least one company and identify at least ten metrics used in reporting the entities responsibilities to Planet, Profit and People. Also what are they measuring? Do you think there is any “green washing” of data in the reports?
Write up your observations of your search and identify and define what you found. Then add your voice and your opinion on the subject of sustainability and the ethics of sustainable reporting.
Summary:
Requirement 1: Search for a GRI report on sustainability reporting for a US public company of your choice using Google. Read the report. Therefore, find at least 10 metrics that they report on that pertain to People, Planet and Profits. Identify and define what the metric measures and what was reporte-d. Requirement 3. Insert your own developed opinion of the sustainability reporting from additional google searches for sustainable reporting.
Deliverable:
one 10 page report , double spaced, exploring the ethics of reporting, types of standards, metrics, how greenwashing is prevented, provide data and real examples from a company of your choice, and conclude with your voice and opinion. Lastly, add your references and sources from all website accessed WITH DATE in a sources cited page.
