Your concerns are well targeted and I share them all.

On the subject of transparency, I believe having awards voted for by practitioners and other users of reports will help keep sustainability a collaborative venture.

Similarly, Petrobas’ website and report is astounding in it’s level of disclosure and on this it puts other businesses who are purportedly more ethical to shame.

Best wishes

Chris.

There is extreme irony in an oil company winning a sustainability award and squaring the reality of Petrobas with this achievement is a stetch, at least for me. We are still some way from the transparency required to make GRI a credible indicator and the focus needs to be on this rather than questionable awards.
