Enhancement of the GRI training program to incorporate:An extension of the stakeholder management training to differentiate between internal and external stakeholders, their role and importance to successful sustainability reporting.Incorporate a session on “developing a business case for sustainability” which should provide the skills and structure to the reporter to increase internal support and understanding of the value of sustainability reporting within their own organisation.Work to extend the support networks available to sustainability reporters Repeat and expand this research investigation
