After publication of the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (Global
Reporting Initiative June 2000), it became evident that that further
work was required to develop a set of indicators to assist companies preparing
sustainability reports. The GRI established a Measurement Working Group
to undertake this task and their recommendations as to which indicators
should be included in the next version of the Guidelines are presented in
the Final Report of the Measurement Working Group (GRI January 2002). The
links below presents the core indicators recommended by the Measurement
Working Group, indicates where these are discussed in MTR's Corporate Sustainability
Report 2001 and summarises the extent to which MTR reports on each indicator.
By doing this, MTR seeks to demonstrate the scope of its sustainability
reporting and to 'road test' the recommended core indicators in order to
provide feedback to GRI. An assessment of the information presented below
suggests that MTR partially or completely reports against 70% of GRI's proposed
core indicators. |
