Rating and communicating your organisations progress on sustainability is easier and more productive when you know what to measure and why. Lucky then that Kinelea Ltd. have recently announced Ireland’s first official training on the Global Reporting Initiative, the most recognised framework to measure and report on sustainability performance.  The training offers public and private organisations the opportunity to learn how to use GRI to assess their progress and compare it against an accepted international standard.

“GRI is new in Ireland” said Eva Cahill, CEO of Kinelea, “awareness and understanding of it’s benefits are still at early stage but we plan to change that through our certified training programme.   Sustainability reporting has accelerated in the past couple of years, particularly in the UK, so Irish organisations need to step up or get left behind.  The GRI framework reveals gaps and opportunities in your organisations policies and plans for sustainability so there are real benefits including cost savings for all organisations, large and small.   If your organisation supplies or hopes to supply customers already using GRI then this training is a must”.

Good advice then for organisations who work or hope to work with the growing list of companies currently using GRI including O2, Intel, HSBC, B&Q, Diageo, Abbott,  Nestle, as well as Irish companies such as Musgrave Group, CRH, Coillte, Bord na Mona, Irish Life etc…
