Webinar

On 19 May, GRI released GRI 306: Waste 2020, which updates, expands, and replaces GRI 306: Effluents and Waste 2016.

The new Waste Standard changes how companies measure and understand waste, responding to global concerns about increases in waste generation and its impact on the environment and local communities. It encourages companies to prevent waste at source and unlock opportunities for circular business practices.

As the disruption to systems and supply chains caused by COVID-19 has shown, companies need to re-think how they do business if they are to be resilient and respond to the needs of stakeholders – from workers to investors.

This webinar will cover:

  • How the COVID-19 pandemic has affected waste management globally
  • The need for strong governance of waste management systems by the corporate sector
  • Investor expectations for waste management and reporting
  • How GRI 306 can help organizations benefit from clear and transparent waste reporting, facilitating stakeholder engagement on waste management
  • Q&A
