Representatives of the GRI Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) and the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ) today held their inaugural bilateral meeting in Tokyo, Japan.
At this meeting, representatives of the GSSB and the SSBJ provided updates on their respective activities and discussed agenda items such as recent developments in the corporate reporting landscape.
The GSSB and the SSBJ plan to continue to exchange views.
We were delighted to be welcomed to Japan by the SSBJ. We look forward to continuing to explore together how reporting an organisation’s most significant impacts on the economy, environment and people, as enabled by the GRI Standards, can help companies in assessing their impacts, risks and opportunities, as well as providing more comprehensive sustainability information to a wide range of stakeholders.
Carol Adams, Chair of the GSSB
On behalf of the SSBJ, it was our great pleasure to welcome the representatives of GRI’s GSSB to Tokyo. At this meeting, we were able to confirm our commitment towards better corporate reporting and, as a result, were able to sign a Memorandum of Understanding. We look forward to a continuing this productive relationship with the GRI in the coming years.”
