Ceres Sustainability Reporting Awards 2007

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Ceres, a US-based coalition of investors and environmental groups, has announced the sixth annual Ceres-ACCA North American Awards for Sustainability Reporting. The purpose of the awards program is to acknowledge and publicize best practice in reporting on sustainability, environmental and social performance by corporations and organizations, and to provide leadership to those companies that are publishing or intend to publish sustainability reports. In 1997, Ceres launched the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which has become the international standard for corporate reporting on the "triple bottom line" of economic, social and environmental performance. GRI is now an independent institution, with more than 1,200 companies using the guidelines.
