I think the secret of collaboration, not only between GRI and SASB but also standards like CDP lies in technology. All financial reporting is moving towards XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). Non-financial reporting must do the same. In so doing GRI, SASB and CDP must unite their information so that even thought their approaches vary the underlying information is comparable by computers.

They do what the standard setters should have started years ago. Not in an attempt to compete, but to develop the necessary level of CONVERGENCE thinking that none of them is able to envisage alone, mainly because of the turf that is ongoing for long. Your example is just the last episode of what's going on for many years. The MoUs between them are - face it - cease-fire agreements, speaking collaboration, but meaning cementing claims on who has the better materiality proposition. Our experience is that you need to step one level up and offer a different ecosystem to innovate thinking that makes obsolete the necessity for any such claims, simply because all of them will be better of. In our view a lot of that has to do with finally making sustainability context an 'integral' part, and not the forgotten principle, and finding ways to connect micro-performance with macro-urgencies, so that fiduciary duty isn't cut into pieces of one single company (how can it be that more than 50% of global multinationals think that climate change is NOT a material issue for them?) and then suddenly disappears. The reporting and data blueprint just got published, and you can take part in next week's Convetit think tank where they will be discussed. An email to hello@reporting3.org is enough. You're right, we don't need the turf, but convergence is the way forward!Ralph Thurmnoreply@blogger.com
