Center for Social Responsibility Operations Committee ViceChair Colin Hubo was recently reelected to the Stakeholder Council of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). He is the Philippines’ lone representative to the Amsterdam-based group that produces the world’s most widely used standard for corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting. According to a communiqué from GRI Governance Coordinator Elina Sviklina, Mr. Hubo’s “pre-existing work on sustainability issues and professional background were the basis of [his election].” He was selected from about 40 candidates representing business, civil society, and mediating institutions. Thirteen of the nominees were chosen to be
among the Council’s Asian members, including Mr. Hubo. As part of the 60-member Stakeholder Council, Mr. Hubo attends the group’s annual conference in Amsterdam, where they deliberate key strategic issues regarding corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting. Mr. Hubo will serve the Council until the end of 2012. Today more than 1,000 organizations in 60 countries use the GRI guidelines publicly to report on their environmental, economic, and social performance. The GRI also collaborates with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Global Compact. Mr. Daryl Zamora Corporate Communications Office
