Gender and Sustainability Reporting
IFC Partners with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) to improve corporate reporting of gender issues
This joint twelve month research and consultation project aims to help companies see the business value of gender inclusion. This global initiative, for which the governments Germany, Iceland, and Switzerland are lead sponsors, seeks to help enterprises tap emerging best practices in sustainability reporting, achieve bottom-line benefits, and create new opportunities for women in the private sector by better understanding and managing gender perspectives in their businesses.

Launch of IFC and GRI Publication "Embedding Gender in Sustainability Reporting"
On Tuesday, October 27, 2009, IFC and GRI launched their Gender and Sustainability Reporting Publication at the 2009 CSR Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The workshop was for CSR Asia participants and practitioners who want to establish themselves as leaders in managing gender issues. It highlighted some of the existing and emerging business drivers for improving practices and reporting on material gender issues. In addition, legal and ethical imperatives for reporting on gender issues were discussed. Practical steps were offered on how to embed gender in sustainability reporting.
In particular, workshop leaders from GRI and IFC focused in depth on 3 areas of top priority as per interest expressed by the participants, and drew on the recently produced Practitioners' Guide that is based on research and multi-stakeholder consultations in Brazil, India, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
