Annual Sustainability Reports:
Since 2013, WOQOD has been annually publishing a Sustainability Report detailing its achievements in various areas, including environmental, social, and governance aspects. This report is prepared in alignment with the principles of materiality established by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), covering topics that reflect the organization’s significant economic, environmental, and social impact.
The information presented in the sustainability report is based on historical performance data and data from the reporting period. Data is calculated using standard guidelines, assumptions, and methodologies. For example, greenhouse gas emissions data is derived from standard formulas and calculations. Unless otherwise specified, the quantitative data highlighted in the annual sustainability report covers the entire reporting period from January 1 to December 31.
The report includes information on critical strategic decisions and initiatives that were launched during the reporting period.
Sustainability Highlights:
Here at WOQOD, we’re thrilled to release the tenth edition of our Sustainability Report, originally published in 2013. It follows the standards established by the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative).
This report’s scope was determined after thoroughly evaluating the nature and scale of WOQOD’s business and its specific sustainability concerns. Considering stakeholder opinions, overall business risks, current sustainability trends, and industry best practices helped us identify the material factors most essential to our organization.
