For me when you said 'M&S have a checklist of performance indicators, their own kind of GRI' you summed up something about the GRI itself for me. Which is that leading companies see the GRI as a checklist, the leading checklist sure, but still just a checklist of issues they should consider. And treating the GRI in that way may be fine for stakeholders - as you said, nobody seems to be giving M&S a hard time for their variations on GRI indicators.<br /><br />The GRI therefore needs to abandon its vision that we will use GRI reports to compare performance between companies.
