Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle
Increasing Reporting
In 2018, more companies than ever before reported on their sustainability management. This is due to new legislation based on the EU non-financial reporting directive. However, there is no central database about such reports, and a very limited number of reports has been registered at the GRI Website: 21 for Austria, and 3 for Croatia. The actual numbers are 150 to 250 for Austria, and around 50 for Croatia.
