To address this issue, White recommended that Baue & McElroy gather a collective voice to support more robust enactment of Sustainability Context. So Baue & McElroy pulled together about 150 global experts to join the Susty Context Group, in order to conduct ad hoc, opt-in advocacy to advance Sustainability Context. In its first year, the Group submitted a raft of Public Comments to: Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standard Public Comment by r3.0, for signatures of SCG Members International Integrated Report Council (IIRC) Public Comment Letter 2020 on its International Framework (Submitted 19 August 2020 with 26 signatories); Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) on G4, the fourth generation of Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (Submitted 24 September 2012 with 66 signatories), and its GHG Emissions Guidance (Submitted 12 November 2012 with 27 signatories); International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) on its International Framework (Submitted 8 July 2013 with 63 signatories); Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SAAB) on its Conceptual Framework (Submitted 26 July 2013 with 37 signatories); Global Initiative for Sustainability Ratings (GISR) on its Principles (Submitted 2 April 2013 with 57 signatories).

Ranganathan invited Baue to meet with her and GHG Protocol Global Director…
