Disclaimer
This disclaimer applies to data taken from GRIs Sustainability Disclosure Database:

Sustainability reports are registered by publication year, i.e. reports published in 2011
are registered under 2011.
Organizations using the GRI reporting framework are not required to register their
reports with GRI.
USA sustainability reports are collected by GRIs US Data Partner Governance and
Accountability Institute (G&A).
G&A collects sustainability reports with an Index (GRI reports), sustainability reports
that reference GRI (GRI Ref reports) and other multi-issue sustainability reports
(non-GRI reports).
Please note that some organizations issue reports biennally; although the GRI
framework recommends annual reporting.
Please note that some organizations issue reports for internal use only, although the
GRI framework recommends public reporting.
Please note that only report HQed in the USA are included in this sample.
