Description
This unit of competency covers drafting reports to meet the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines and to self declare the application level.This unit applies to individuals who seek to report on an organisation’s compliance against the GRI guidelines. The GRI provides an international and widely used sustainability reporting framework that many organisations choose to use.This unit applies inside organisations and their value chains. The unit has been developed with manufacturing operations as a focus. However, because of the range of organisations in a typical manufacturing value chain it may also be applied to other types of organisations. A manager or technical specialist who has a major responsibility for sustainability as part of a broader work role would typically undertake this, or sustainability may be their primary work responsibility. The manager or technical specialist may undertake this alone or as part of a team.The technical measurement of operational performance or measurement of emissions or other environmental impact is not covered by this unit. However, there is a requirement to present and organise data. The complexity of this requirement will vary according to the type and scale of the organisation’s processes. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
