The following GRI table details how our CSR progress data from 2010 is aligned with the GRI G3 guidelines. Learn more about the GRI at www.globalreporting.org.

This is our second year of reporting in accordance with the GRI and it will continue to be a part of our CSR commitment. After our self-assessment, we declare our reporting to be consistent with that of a GRI application level C+. Furthermore, the accounting firm KPMG has provided assurance on selected environmental indicators based on the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 framework.

To increase the transparency and comprehension of the table we indicate whether our level of disclosure covers the GRI requirements fully or partially. In addition, every profile or performance indicator we apply is linked to a specific section of either our Annual Report (AR), our company website (www.carlsberggroup.com), or the CSR section on our company website (www.carlsberggroup.com/csr).

Given that our products are made from natural resources, the sustainability of the environment is vital to our business. Therefore, the vast majority of indicators in the GRI table are environment-related. We are reporting on 29 indicators, significantly above the required 10 profile indicators for C-level. 

In order to simplify the table we have only included the indicators we provide data on. A full list of GRI indicators can be found at the GRI's homepage.

The GRI G3 Guidelines encourages disaggregation of information where feasible, but acknowledges that the level of disaggregation may vary by indicator. We will continue to develop the maturity of our reporting systems and procedures, so that we can improve the level of disaggregation in the future. We also aim to revise the indicators that we include in our progress data regularly to ensure that they are aligned with our CSR agenda, and that any indicators that add value to our stakeholders or us are included.
