Суть раскрытия
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.

Подготовка
Ключевая информация для подготовки
| Поле подготовки | Что зафиксировать | Подсказка по доказательствам | Ответственный |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

Request the report timing and contact details
Переведите раскрытие на язык внутреннего бизнес-вопроса, а затем адаптируйте его под терминологию вашей организации.
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.
Слабый запрос
Please provide the GRI 2-3 information for the sustainability report, including the reporting period, frequency, financial reporting period, publication date, and contact point.
Почему он не работает: 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.
Более удачный запрос
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.

Примечание о методике
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.
Примечание о контексте
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.
Заявление о колебаниях
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.

Готовность к заверению
Для каждого утверждения проверьте доказательства
| Утверждение | Риски | Доказательства для проверки |
|---|---|---|
| The sustainability reporting period includes clear and accurate start and end dates. | One boundary date is missing, ambiguous or inconsistent with the final reported information. | Approved reporting calendar and final report or published information |
| The frequency of sustainability reporting is stated explicitly. | The reader is expected to infer frequency from the report title, period or publication history. | Approved reporting calendar or publication schedule |
| The financial reporting period is stated, and any misalignment is explained. | The wrong financial period is compared, or the two periods differ without an explanation. | Final financial statements or annual report and the approved explanation for any difference |
| The publication date is accurate for the current report or reported information. | An approval date, file date or previous-report date is disclosed instead of the current publication date. | Final publication record and website release log |
| The contact point is current and operational. | The contact route is outdated, unmonitored or too general to handle questions about the reported information. | Communications or Company Secretariat confirmation and evidence that the contact channel is active |

Синтетические, написаны LRA — это не выдержки из отчёта компании и не текст какого-либо стандарта.
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.
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.

Сценарии для разбора
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.
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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Вопросы, на которые отвечает эта страница
Prepare five operational datapoints: sustainability reporting period, reporting frequency, financial reporting period and any alignment explanation, publication date, and contact point. These five fields are LRA’s practical decomposition of four official GRI 2-3 requirements.
Use it as a working checklist to move from collecting the basic reporting details to building a draft disclosure. The page is set up to help you prepare the disclosure, not just read about it.
Keep the approved reporting calendar, final financial statements or annual report, publication record, website release log, responsible-team confirmation, evidence that the contact channel is active, and the internal approval record confirming the final dates.
Verify five practical points: clear sustainability period dates, explicit reporting frequency, the financial period and any alignment explanation, the current publication date, and an operational contact point. Each should tie to the corresponding calendar, final report, release record or owner confirmation.
The page has a section on common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is meant to help you spot weak points before you finalise the disclosure. Use it as a pre-submission check against your draft and evidence pack.
Use the method note, context note, LRA preparation recommendation and GRI content-index line to turn the five operational datapoints into one concise narrative or table. These five datapoints implement four official GRI 2-3 requirements.
Yes, as a drafting aid only. The page says the examples are synthetic and illustrative, so they are there to show structure and presentation rather than provide a real company precedent.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format, which is intended to support preparation and assurance readiness. Use it to organise the datapoints, evidence and review steps before you finalise the disclosure.
The Download Centre also provides a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is a practical companion for keeping the disclosure guidance and key checks to hand while you work through the draft.
Use the ‘How companies report GRI 2-3 in practice’ cards to review full and partial reporting examples and open the cited pages in each published report. Treat them as evidence-led reviews, not templates to copy.
