As discussed in page one "Sustainability Reporting: Green Is the New Black," the communications industry - and business as a whole - has taken to the practice of going
"sustainable." Here are the charts and statistics to back it up. Consider it an impetus for action.
Global Reach:
- 80% of the top 15 global brands issue reports that use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI);
- 43% of the top 100 global brands do so; and

Local Reach:
- 49 of S&P 100 issued comprehensive reports - 11 for the first time - in the period from June 2005 to December 2006; and,
- More than 1/3 use GRI guidelines.
