Index of Responses to the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines

Abstract

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Sustainability Report has been issued every 2 years since 2007. This Sustainability Report contains selected sustainability performance highlights of ADB’s operations and corporate footprint during 2011–2012. The report is available in printed format on request from njahmad@adb.org or online at www.adb.org/documents/asian-developmentbank-sustainability-report-2013. This Index of Responses to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, is part of the expanded online version that provides a detailed review of ADB’s sustainability performance. Throughout the index, hyperlinks provide access to further information available on the ADB website at www.adb.org. The contents of the Sustainability Report, the expanded version including this index, and information available through the hyperlinks provided allow stakeholders to assess ADB’s sustainability performance during 2011–2012. As in previous reports, ADB is responding to the GRI standard disclosures. In addition, for 2011–2012, ADB, as a multilateral development bank, is reporting on the sector-specific indicators from the GRI financial services and public agency supplements. In reporting on its performance, ADB has attempted to provide balanced, comparable, accurate, timely, clear, and reliable information; any data gaps are noted.
