Global Reporting Initiative
Between the 7th and 9th of May, Amsterdam hosted the Global Reporting Initiative conference. With over 1,000 people coming from all continents, the conference was a huge success. The line-up of speakers was very impressive, including Government officials, and many other CEOs and CFOs. Sustainability is a hot topic worldwide, and so are sustainability reporting solutions. We showed our solution, and got great validation from many of the people I spoke. We have believed from the beginning that sustainability reporting is very similar to financial reporting. It requires the same skills, processes and technologies to collect the data in a reliable way, aggregate it to a meaningful level and share it in an auditable way. So we have chosen to use our financial consolidation tool, Oracle's Hyperion Financial Management. Many people agreed that the Office of Finance plays a crucial role in sustainability reporting.
