Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
Over the long term, Danfoss aims for the entire Corporate Citizen report to be the subject of external verification.
Up until now, only the environmental section has undergone verification by a third party. In the course of 2008, Danfoss cooperated with PricewaterhouseCoopers on data validity.
The cooperation resulted in the integration of relevant indicators from Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) into the annual CSR questionnaire, which is distributed to all companies, and in establishing related accounting principles.
The five main themes of GRI (human rights, society impact, labour practices, environment and product responsibility) form the basis of the contents of the Corporate Citizenship report and an extensive table of the GRI indicators which Danfoss has chosen to report.
