First NFP to release sustainability report

Wednesday, November 30, 2011
Ability Options recently became the first disability, non-profit organisation in Australia to release a sustainability report in line with the international Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a non-profit organisation that provides a framework for sustainability reporting around the world. Ability Options recently used GRI’s guidelines to release their annual and sustainability report.

Sustainability reporting requires companies and organisations to demonstrate their corporate responsibility by publicly reporting against economic, social and environmental — or people, planet and profit— values or criteria on an annual basis.

Ability Options’ Chief Executive Matt Donnelly says that by taking a proactive role to collect data, measure and track specific issues through sustainability reporting, Ability Options aims to further improve the lives of the people with disability and their families.

“Sustainability reporting gives us a way to ensure we will operate more effectively in this future landscape and helps us create a meaningful dialogue with all our stakeholders in determining Ability Options’ direction and what that future needs to look like,” said Donnelly.
