WWF published the 2011 Environmental Management & Disclosure Index (EMDI) Report, addressing respective results for 2009 and 2010 (published till end of 2011). The assessment was conducted solely by WWF, based on a customised methodology developed pro-bono by STREAM. The objectives of the assessment are to:

  • Quantitatively map the level of the Greek market, in terms of managing environmental issues and disclosing respective information to the public, in order to facilitate market improvements.
  • Objectively identifying good practices implemented by organisations.
  • Provide a systematic and structured feedback to organisations.

This year, internationally leading companies on sustainability practices Interface and UNILEVER Group agreed to carry out a voluntary evaluation of public information relating to their global environmental activities, utilizing the EMDI methodology, in order to provide a benchmark of excellent performance and identify own areas for improvement.

The customised EMDI methodology:

  • Is segmented in 8 Domains, emphasising both management practices followed (3 Enabler Domains: Management, Materiality, Awareness), as well as botton line results achieved (5 Result Domains: Energy, Water, Materials, Hazardous, Other).
  • Assesses 108 environmental issues in total.
  • Utilises aspects and principles from guidelines and systems (like GRI G3 Guidelines, EFQM Model, EMAS, ISO14001 etc.), over-exceeding their requirements.
  • Was applied by WWF to assess 40 representative organisations (from multinational corporations to public organisations), segmented in 6 business sectors, with different Domain weighting applied for each sector, in order to map the overall status of the market.
  • Utilised strictly publicly available information for the assessment.
