Appendix 5. The UN Global, the, and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): Consistency of Principles and Indicators 1 The Social is based on key international documents pertaining to human rights, labour, and the environment developed by the UN, the International Labour Organizations, and the European Council. Through it the Russian companies that have decided to join the Social and to adhere to its principles are included in the world-wide drive for sustainable development. By planning and evaluating their operation and measuring, participants in the Social can position themselves with respect to the international principles of corporate social responsibility. In the document below principles of the Social are compared with the principles of the UN Global and the GRI Performance Indicators (GRI Guidelines). The comparison vividly shows that the is in line with international sustainable development initiatives. Russian corporate participants in the Social, seeing the importance of participation in international agreements, are well placed to join the Global. The UN Global is to bring the business community and civil society together to jointly uphold the ten universal principles concerning human rights, labour, and the environment, and to resolve issues of globalization. The Global is a voluntary initiative based on corporate citizenship. It promotes openness and transparency of operation in realization of its principles based on well thought-out business interests, and requires appropriate long-term corporate management strategies. The Global Reporting Initiative is a long-term international process aimed at establishment, dissemination, and international application of the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. The Guidelines are to be voluntarily used by organizations in their economic, environmental, and social reporting. The purpose of such reporting is to identify and explicate the organization s contribution to sustainable development through a system of indicators (GRI Guidelines 2002). The Social and the Global lie at the foundation of corporate strategies. The GRI is a tool for adequate description and measurement of corporate. For the purposes of this document, only those GRI indicators that reflect against the principles of both the Global and the Social have been used. 1 The table was prepared using the following documents: GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (2002), Russian translation (http://www.globalreporting.org); The Global.
