Our Sustainability Reports are developed in line with international best practice. We report based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Reporting Guidelines (Core Option). Our GRI index can be downloaded here.

The SR2019 also contains disclosures recommended in the Agricultural Products Sustainability Accounting Standard (Industry Standard, Version 2018-10) that was developed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). The SASB disclosure index can be downloaded here.

We also participate in several disclosure platforms including CDP (which incorporates the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations and elements of the Accountability Framework Initiative),SPOTT, FTSE4Good and DJSI.

Our assessment of material issues informs our sustainability strategy and management approach, as well as our reporting on sustainability. GAR’s Board considers sustainability as part of the company’s long-term strategic direction; is involved in determining the material ESG issues; and has overall responsibility for overseeing the management and monitoring of the ESG issues across the business.

In 2017, we conducted an in-depth materiality assessment across our entire value chain. The result of the assessment is a prioritised list of 19 sustainability issues. Click here to see a summary of our materiality process.
