ISO 26000 AND GRI COMPARISON TABLE
ISO 26000 and GRI Comparison Table
The Zimbabwe endorsed (ZWS) international standard ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility is the framework used to integrate social responsibility (SR) into our values and practices and communicates the commitment, performance and other information related to social responsibility. SR is a key component of the sustainability report.
ISO 26000 was the international standard for SR adopted for use in Zimbabwe in 2010. In mid-2019 the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange issued Statutory Instrument 134 of 2019, Part XXI Sustainability Information & Disclosure of the Securities & Exchange (ZSE/VFEX Listing Requirements) Rules, 2019, whereby the ZSE/VFEX encourages the adoption of internationally accepted reporting frameworks, such as the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards, in disclosing a company’s sustainability performance. The Zimbabwe National Standardisation Strategy (ZNSS) requires the referencing of standards in all regulatory frameworks. In November 2023 the VFEX issued the Practice Note 2 on Sustainability Information and Disclosure and has developed a core sustainability disclosure metrics for adoption as a minimum starting point, effective from 1 January 2024.
To comply with both the ZNSS requirements and ZSE preference for GRI, ISO 26000 is interoperable for use with GRI and the following comparison table may be used to help evaluate the report for the GRI protocol.
Please note that the following comparison table is based on the GRI Standards: 2016. With the IAL report using the ZWS endorsed international standard ISO 26000 as its reporting framework and following ISO’s concept of continuous improvement, the IAL Report will incorporate the GRI Standards disclosures specified in the Practice Note 2: General Disclosure within its sustainability report for its 2025 financial year, commencing on 1 July 2024.
