We wish to be transparent to all of our stakeholders about our sustainability policy, ambition and result to all. In order to accomplish this (to be ‘stakeholder-inclusive’), we will align reporting on our performance regarding sustainability with the sustainability reporting guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI,
http://www.globalreporting.org/).
The advantage of external reporting is to inform stakeholders on performance and improvements. Furthermore there is a gain in scoring better in several ratings, such as in Transparency Benchmarks (e.g. by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs) and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).
The indicators below are selected GRI Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that will be used for initial reporting. These indicators represent performance that is both relevant for Vopak and of which reliable information is accessible within the organisation.
