Objet de l’information

Disclosure 2-3 requires an organisation to specify the reporting period and frequency of its sustainability reporting, the reporting period for its financial reporting, the publication date of the report or reported information, and the contact point for questions. If the financial reporting period does not align with the sustainability reporting period, the organisation must explain the reason for the difference.

The sustainability reporting period should include clear start and end dates. GRI recommends using the same reporting period as the organisation’s financial reporting and, where possible, publishing the sustainability information at the same time as the financial reporting. These are Guidance recommendations, not additional requirements.

The five datapoints below are an LRA operational decomposition of the four requirements in Disclosure 2-3: reporting period and frequency are shown separately for practical data collection, although both belong to 2-3-a. Organisational coverage is determined under Disclosure 2-2 and is not redefined here.

Reasons for omission are not permitted for Disclosure 2-3. All four requirements must be reported when claiming reporting in accordance with the GRI Standards.

Préparation

Informations clés à préparer

Champ à préparer Ce qu’il faut recueillir Indice de preuve Responsable
Reporting period The clear start and end dates covered by the organisation’s sustainability reporting, whether the information is published in a standalone report or another format. Board-approved reporting calendar, reporting pack cover page, or the published report date range. Sustainability reporting / Finance
Reporting frequency How often sustainability reporting is published, such as annually, biennially or on another explicit cycle. Reporting policy, publication schedule, or prior-year reporting timetable. Sustainability reporting / Corporate reporting
Financial reporting period and alignment The dates covered by the financial statements, and a clear reason where that accounting period is different from the sustainability reporting period. Annual report, audited financial statements, or finance close calendar showing both periods and any mismatch explanation. Finance / Group reporting
Publication date The publication date of the report or reported information. Using the first public release date is LRA’s practical interpretation for version control; the GRI requirement itself says publication date. Published report PDF, website posting record, or release log with the launch date. Corporate reporting / Communications
Contact point A current person, functional team, monitored mailbox or other operational contact route for questions about the report or reported information. Published report contact page, corporate website, or internal communications sign-off sheet. Corporate reporting / Investor relations / Sustainability

Comment le préparer

Confirm the sustainability reporting period with clear start and end dates, then state the frequency of sustainability reporting explicitly. Do not infer frequency only from the year shown in a title.
Check the finance reporting period next. If the finance timetable is different from the sustainability one, add a plain explanation for the mismatch.
Record the publication date for the report or reported information. Distinguish it from internal approval, file creation and the publication date of a previous report.
Provide a current contact point for questions about the report or reported information. A functional team or monitored mailbox is acceptable; a personal name is not required.
Gather the source evidence behind each item before drafting the disclosure. Keep the supporting records together so you can show how the dates, frequency, publication date and contact details were chosen.
Review all four requirements against the official source and confirm that none has been omitted. Where possible, align the sustainability and financial reporting periods and publish both sets of information at the same time.

Demander les données

Request the report timing and contact details

Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.

What dates, reporting frequency, and contact details should we use for the sustainability report, and how does the finance year compare if the two periods are different?

Use your organisation’s own labels first, then map them to the reporting pack. Sustainability reporting may be published in a standalone report or another information package, so identify the relevant output precisely. Check every item against final source material before sign-off.

Demande faible

Please provide the GRI 2-3 information for the sustainability report, including the reporting period, frequency, financial reporting period, publication date, and contact point.

Pourquoi elle échoue : It uses framework language only, so the recipient has to translate the ask into their own records. It also does not point to the internal documents or systems that should be checked, or make clear what to do if the finance period is different.

Meilleure demande

Please send the report calendar details we should use for the [report name] pack: the period covered, how often we publish, the finance year, a short reason if the finance year is different, the publication date, and the person or team who handles questions about the report. Include the source document or system and use your normal internal terms.

Manufacturing

Contexte. The sustainability report follows the calendar year, while the finance year runs from April to March.

Demande adaptée. Please send the reporting calendar details for the [report name] pack: the sustainability reporting period, reporting frequency, the finance year, a short reason for the different finance year, the publication date, and the contact for report queries. Use the wording from the reporting calendar and board paper, and include the source file.

Exemple de réponse. Sustainability period: 1 January to 31 December 2025; frequency: annual; financial reporting period: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025; reason: financial reporting follows the statutory April-to-March year while sustainability information follows the calendar-year operational data cycle; publication date: 15 March 2026; contact point: Company Secretariat mailbox; source: reporting calendar v3 and board paper.

Financial services

Contexte. The sustainability report and finance reporting both follow the same year-end, and the report is published alongside the annual report.

Demande adaptée. Please confirm the report timing details for the [report name] pack: the reporting period, how often the report is issued, the finance period, the publication date, and the contact point for questions. If the finance and sustainability periods match, note that clearly. Use the wording from the annual reporting timetable and the published report draft.

Rédigez votre information

Des notes qui transforment les données en information publiée

Modèles pédagogiques LRA — adaptez-les à votre organisation et vérifiez la source officielle avant validation.

Note méthodologique

State the time span covered by the sustainability information, how often the organisation issues it, which financial reporting period is used for comparison, and where the report date and enquiry contact are set out.

Note de contexte

State whether the sustainability and financial reporting periods align. If they do not, explain the reason for the difference. Organisational coverage belongs under Disclosure 2-2.

Déclaration sur les variations

LRA preparation recommendation — not an additional GRI 2-3 requirement. If a timing change results in a restatement of previously reported information, also apply Disclosure 2-4 and explain the reason for and effect of the restatement.

Dossier de preuves à préparer

Lacunes fréquentes dans les rapports

The sustainability reporting period is given as a year only, without clear start and end dates.
The frequency of sustainability reporting is implied rather than stated explicitly.
The financial reporting period is missing, or a difference from the sustainability reporting period is not explained.
An internal approval date, file date or previous-report date is presented as the current publication date.
The contact point is outdated, unmonitored or only a general corporate homepage.
One of the four required elements is omitted because it is considered immaterial, even though reasons for omission are not permitted.
The dates or contact route cannot be traced to an approved calendar, final publication record or responsible owner.

Lacunes fréquentes

Erreurs à éviter lors de la collecte des données

Wrong ownerThe team asks the sustainability lead for the publication contact, even though the day-to-day inbox sits with corporate affairs or investor relations.
Framework language onlyPeople record the answer in GRI terms instead of the organisation’s own calendar, reporting cycle, and named mailbox, so the source owner cannot recognise it.
Reported information not identifiedThe collector does not identify the report or reported information to which the dates and contact point relate. Entity coverage itself belongs under GRI 2-2.

Là où un jugement professionnel est souvent nécessaire

A gap between sustainability and financial reporting periodsGive both periods and explain the reason for the difference. GRI recommends using the same reporting period as financial reporting where possible.
Publishing sustainability and financial information togetherWhere possible, coordinate release timing so sustainability information is published at the same time as financial reporting. This is GRI Guidance, not an additional requirement.
Publication date versus internal sign-off dateUse the publication date of the current report or reported information. Keep internal approval and file creation dates separate so readers are not given the wrong date.

Exemples

Exemples illustratifs

Synthétiques, rédigés par LRA — ils ne proviennent ni d’un rapport d’entreprise ni du texte d’une norme.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — manufacturing

Northbridge Manufacturing publishes sustainability information annually.

• Sustainability reporting period: 1 January to 31 December 2025.

• Frequency: annual.

• Financial reporting period: 1 January to 31 December 2025; the periods align.

• Publication date: 20 March 2026.

• Contact point: sustainability@northbridge.example.

This annual example covers all four GRI 2-3 requirements and uses a monitored functional mailbox rather than requiring a personal contact name.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — retail

Meridian Retail publishes sustainability information annually.

• Sustainability reporting period: 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

• Frequency: annual.

• Financial reporting period: 1 January to 31 December 2024.

• Reason for the difference: financial reporting follows the statutory calendar year, while sustainability data are consolidated using the Group’s April-to-March operational management cycle.

• Publication date: 20 June 2025.

• Contact point: reporting@meridian.example.

This example uses a completed financial reporting period and explains why the sustainability and financial reporting periods differ.

ISA’s Report profile states a sustainability reporting period of 1 January–31 December 2024, annual periodicity and a contact office with email address (p.9). A clear financial reporting period and the publication date of the current report were not identified in the cited disclosure. The reference to the 2023 report presented in March 2024 is not the publication date of the 2024 report, and committee review frequency or stakeholder consultation is not evidence for GRI 2-3.
Kuehne+Nagel International AG
Air Freight Transportation and Logistics · Switzerland · 2025
Ouvrir le rapport →
Kuehne+Nagel’s GRI content index states that the Sustainability Report covers 1 January–31 December 2025 and was published on 2 April 2026; it also gives a report-specific contact email. The same entry states that the Annual Report covers the matching period and was published on 3 March 2026 (p.70). The frequency of sustainability reporting is not stated explicitly in the cited entry, so an annual frequency should not be inferred solely from the report year.
ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.
Semiconductors · Taiwan · 2024
Ouvrir le rapport →
ASE Technology Holding’s GRI content index states that the report covers 1 January–31 December 2024, uses the same period as the financial report, and is published every year in August (p.258). The Report Overview provides the Corporate CSR Division’s address, telephone number and email as the contact point (p.8). The month supports reporting frequency but does not establish the exact publication date of this edition, so publication date coverage is partial.

Scénarios à travailler

A group has finished its annual sustainability report for the year ended 31 December 2025. The finance team closes on 31 March, so the sustainability team is using a different year-end and wants to explain that difference in the report.

QWhat period details should be included, and what extra explanation is needed because the two reporting cycles do not match?
Afficher la réponse type →

A preparer is updating a report that is issued every two years, but the draft only says the document covers the latest year and gives a publication date. The team is unsure whether that is enough for a reader to understand the reporting pattern.

QWhat should be added so the report makes the reporting rhythm clear?
Afficher la réponse type →

A sustainability report is posted on the company website on 18 April 2026, but the draft contact section only gives a generic web address for the whole organisation. The communications team wants to know whether that is enough for follow-up questions about the report.

QWhat contact detail should be provided so readers know where to direct questions about the report itself?
Afficher la réponse type →

A preparer is drafting a report for a business that publishes sustainability information every year and financial statements for the same 12-month period. The team wonders whether it still needs to mention the finance period and the publication date because the cycles match.

QWhat information still needs to appear in the disclosure even when the reporting periods are aligned?
