1- Data Collection

The data is collected in accordance with the requirements within the framework of sustainability reporting standards.

2- Evaluation of Data

The collected data is evaluated in terms of environmental-social-economic benefits. At the same time, sustainability reports include the company's future goals.

3- Gap Analysis

Companies set some concrete targets within the scope of their corporate sustainability policies and work towards those targets.

4- Stakeholder Engagement

As part of the user satisfaction/complaint management system studies, companies communicate with users via telephone, mail, survey, etc., and collect their thoughts on their products and services. Since users are stakeholders of companies, such a study can be considered a stakeholder analysis.

Preparing a GRI report is important because it helps businesses to transparently communicate their sustainability performance to their stakeholders (investors, customers, employees, suppliers, local communities, etc.). There are several reasons for this:

  • Transparency: The GRI report provides a transparent view of a business's sustainability strategies, performance, and goals, enabling businesses to explain to their stakeholders what they are doing and why they are doing it.

  • Decision making: The GRI report helps stakeholders to become informed about a business's sustainability performance. This allows stakeholders to make informed decisions about the business's sustainability performance. For example, an investor can invest in a business while considering its sustainability performance.

  • Competition: The GRI report enables businesses to compare their sustainability performance with other businesses. This allows businesses to gain a competitive advantage by comparing their sustainability strategies and performance with other businesses.

  • Governance: The GRI report provides a tool for businesses to manage their sustainability strategies and performance. Businesses can measure their sustainability performance, set goals, and monitor their performance through the GRI report.

For these reasons, preparing a GRI report is important for businesses to communicate their sustainability strategies and performance to their stakeholders and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
