Challenge: Measuring, managing and reporting on the progress of the organization's Sustainability Journey – ensuring that ESG market players, corporate reputation influencers, shareholders and stakeholders understand the strategies, goals, program elements of the journey and accomplishments and recognitions earned.
Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility Reporting – Advice and Assistance
G&A Institute team members identify, closely monitor, profile and engage with respected leaders in corporate sustainability and responsibility strategies and programs. We profile the leaders in the corporate sector and monitor their progress as they set the pace for their sectors and industries – in the USA and globally. Corporate managers retain G&A to profile their investment peers, competitors, and select leaders to gain the important knowledge to guide their own sustainability journey.
Corporate managers need the roadmap for that journey, which often begins with small steps. We help companies research CR and Sustainability reporting trends and as part of our benchmarking and profiling efforts, we compile Best Practices for corporate sustainability and responsibility strategies and programs – and the disclosure and public reporting associated with strategies, implementation and programs.
G&A Institute is the United States Data Partner for the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which has become the global standard-setting organization for corporate CR and sustainability reporting. Our team monitors, gathers, analyzes and reports on trends in GRI reporting as well as the reports of individual US-based companies and organizations.

We provide clients with confidential assessment of their own organization's immediate and longer-term opportunities and vulnerabilities as the need to meet and exceed stockholders' and stakeholders' expectations, requests and demands in the areas of Sustainability and ESG performance increases exponentially.
Bottom line: Increased, effective, timely corporate disclosure and public (and internal) reporting on progress made in the sustainability journey can persuade shareowners and stakeholders –and reputation influencers – that long-term sustainability is being baked into the DNA of the organization.
