sustainability Reporting
Drawbacks of GRI
1. Companies use sustainability reporting a way to have a good public image by merely
following the GRI guidelines of report rather than have a serious effort at actually
improving and measuring the performance
2. In the name of achieving sustainability targets, companies often shift their focus from the
quality targets of products.
3. GRI allows companies to implement a framework incrementally giving them options to
omit the indicators altogether. This is done in order to attract companies who do not
want to disclose all their activities.
