“The Blue Lagoon’s first CSR Report is based on the GRI Standards.”
The Blue Lagoon’s CSR report is based on the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI), a non-profit organization that promotes economic sustainability and produces one of the world’s most prevalent standards for CSR reporting.
GRI standards are designed to be used for preparing a CSR report anywhere in the world. Its mission is to empower decision makers through GRI’s sustainability standards and multi-stakeholder network, and to take action towards a more sustainable economy and world.
Blue Lagoon decided to use the GRI Standards to issue the first official CSR report for the period of January 2019 – December 2019. This report is prepared according to the core option of the GRI standards and has an annual cycle.
Key people within Blue Lagoon departments were involved in the process of defining the report’s content and its boundaries. The activities included face-to-face meetings, discussions and interviews, follow-ups, content analysis, and report writing. The report principles (101 Foundation) were applied during the reporting process.
