ADFIAP session on sustainability reporting attracts CEO interest

Delegates attending the CEO Forum VIII (please see related story) held in Thimpu, Bhutan, expressed interest to learn more and eventually go into sustainability reporting after attending the special session on sustainability reporting conducted by Mr. Enrique Florencio, ADFIAP’s Head of Knowledge Management Unit and Sustainability Officer. Mr. Enrique Florencio is a Certified Sustainability Assurance Practitioner.

During the special session, Mr. Florencio discussed the latest trends as well as the basic steps or processes on sustainability reporting, using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting framework. The GRI is a network-based organization that has pioneered the development of the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. Mr. Florencio pointed out the importance of reporting using the triple bottomline or ESG in the form of sustainability strategy, with sustainability reporting and management integrated into the core business operations and development missions.
