Navratna CPSE National Aluminium Company limited (Nalco) on Saturday released the 4th edition of its Sustainable Development Report based on the latest guidelines (GRI G4) of the internationally acclaimed Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Headquartered in Amsterdam, the GRI has developed an elaborate and critical framework for reporting on socioeconomic and environmental aspects of an organisation. It is an independent body that collaborates with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Global Compact. Presently, about 7,500 organisations across the globe are using the GRI guidelines.
Nalco CMD Dr Tapan Kumar Chand said, “Sustainability reporting has emerged as an excellent management practice adopted by progressive organisations world over. Nalco is one of the few such organisations in India which has successfully undergone content index service assessment by GRI.”
“We have comprehensively addressed the sustainability issues from organisational point of view like socioeconomic, environmental, ethical and governance, which greatly impact the society,” Dr Chand added. The report will also be hosted on public domain.
