Evolution and Development

Add value to GRI G-4/Standards reporting
Master GRI Versions: Migration path for
reporting organisations
Improving Reporting environment
Camouflage technical intricacies of XBRL
Dedicate expertise & resources
Exploit the existing XBRL methodologies with more in-
depth functionality & utilities
Automated migration and transition regardless of GRI
version (GRI G-4 -> GRI Standards)
Organisations incentivized to use the GRI XBRL reporting
methods
Abstract users from the technological aspects of XBRL. E.g.
SMEs with limited resources to dedicate to sustainability reporting
Advance the GRI XBRL reporting approach with Open
Architecture
