Bridging the GAP: A Sustainability Reporting Analysis of Company X

ISO 14001 standards are adopted worldwide and provide a framework to support effective environmental management systems. As a small to medium-sized enterprise (fewer than 250 employees), Company X has been certified to ISO 14001 since 2008. However, it has not yet formally adopted the GRI Standards. Company X has requested to remain confidential and will be referred to as “Company X” throughout this report. This study explores the potential role of the GRI 2022 Standards as a driver for sustainability reporting readiness at Company X, assessing whether alignment with GRI’s environmental indicators can enhance the company’s existing environmental management framework and support broader sustainable development objectives. This was determined by tracking specific sustainability indicators and measuring progress through trend analysis and opportunities for improvement. The research was conducted through data analysis and provided results concerning progression, regression, and unchanged outcomes. The final report will facilitate future decision-making regarding sustainable development and planning. Keywords: management systems, sustainable development, indicators
