Guest Panel: "Sustainable Journeys"
Going green was trendy to some, but for some major Florida-based corporations moving to a triple bottom line has become a long-term effort that is paying dividends.
Join us for a facilitated conversation with the leadership from Disney Parks and Resorts, Publix Super Markets and Darden Restaurants and Carnival Cruise Lines. On how each group focus in on what really matters, measures impact, and manages issues related to food and beyond. This will offer a great chance to learn how to meet the challenges beyond the ‘low-hanging fruit’.

The goal of this program is to harmonize and elevate efforts by first educating and informing groups about the most-widely-accepted sustainability reporting framework, provide starting points on Food and Agriculture sector materiality resulting from focused benchmarking, discussion and guidance so that groups walk away with a clear roadmap for moving forward in their sustainability journey. This special GRI Business Transparency Program (BTP) training provides additional value with ongoing support for organizations as they report for the first time, or enhance their ongoing reporting process.

G&A was chosen by GRI to be the exclusive GRI Data Partner for the United States of America, The United Kingdom, and The Republic of Ireland. This means that we are responsible for finding, analyzing, and sharing important details of every sustainability report from every organization headquartered in these three countries. Our data feeds into multiple important endpoints used by various stakeholders (investors, NGOs, data providers, media, clients etc), we communicate and announce every report via our communications channels, and the details are combined with the other global data partners in the GRI reporting database.
This year the G&A Institute researchers analyzed over 1,500 reports for their disclosure levels on all 84 GRI G3.1 performance indicators. With this comprehensive data set, for the first time ever, we can combine the materiality processes of over 1,500 reporters and give you a comprehensive overview into which GRI indicators are found to be most material for your sector.
