   2022 ESG and Compliance Conference  | April 26, 2022 

   • Rewind to 2008 when only 358 companies globally were publishing sustainability reports that aligned the Global Reporting Initiative. Vast changes have occurred in the last 14 years. Today, more than 30,000 companies globally use the GRI framework. Additional sustainability indices and industry-specific and issue-specific frameworks have arisen since. Each year, sustainability leaders and their partners across finance, the environment, marketing, human resources, and more spend thousands of hours responding to and staying ahead of these individual reporting frameworks and processes. Join us as we explore multiple perspectives on ESG reporting today and its evolution in the future.
