Interbalance appointed as GRI Data Partner for Sri Lanka
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an independent international organisation that has pioneered sustainability reporting has appointed Interbalance as its GRI Data Partner for Sri Lanka.
As a GRI Data Partner, Interbalance will collaborate with GRI on various aspects regarding the sharing of sustainability reporting data and reporting organisations.
Interbalance will further serve as the contact point for an organisation within Sri Lanka that wishes to register a report in the GRI Sustainability Disclosure Database.
“GRI is pleased to have Interbalance as a part of the Data Partner programme. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with Interbalance,” said Amsterdam based Global Reporting Initiative Services Director Shivani Rajpal.
The partnership also entails sharing of global reporting trends and practices and other information by GRI with Interbalance, towards further enhancing the sustainability reporting environment in Sri Lanka.
“We are happy to partner with GRI as a Data Partner and we believe that this partnership will assist reporting organisations within Sri Lanka, as well as GRI, and further enhance the sustainability reporting efforts within the country,” said Interbalance Founding Partner Chulendra De Silva.
The GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards are developed with multistakeholder contributions and rooted in the public interest and are the first and most widely adopted global standards for sustainability reporting.
“The key feature of this partnership is that Interbalance will play a pivotal role in providing both GRI and local companies with meta-level information to understand local and global reporting trends respectively,” said Interbalance Founding Partner Charith Jayasundera. “We believe such collaboration on sharing of reporting information will provide the environment for more focused reporting.”
