Abstract

This article examines Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) corporate sustainability reporting standards and identifies existing and missing linkages with corporate real estate disclosures. Based on an analysis of the GRI reporting standards, results of corporate real estate content analysis in the 45 corporate sustainability reports examined, along with the low explanatory power of the models, there is evidence that establishes a lack of clear and consistent coverage of corporate real estate in corporate sustainability reports. There is a strong need for further disclosure, standardization of several corporate real estate-related reporting benchmarks, and increased transparency with respect to corporate owned or leased properties in corporate sustainability reports.
