We will work alongside a range of partners, together creating and sharing the first, mainstream reporting standard for Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility, based on Islamic Principles. Launched this year, the Islamic Reporting Initiative is rapidly gaining support and momentum from a range of our partner members across the Islamic world and we are excited to be involved in this wave of advocacy and support. The initiative aims to generate sustainable growth by building a framework for CSR built on Islamic principles, with the potential of reaching more than 50 Islamic countries worldwide. The initiative was launched by Drs Daan Elffers, the Chairman of last year’s CSR Summit in Saudi Arabia and a judge for the recent CSR Excellence Awards held in the UAE. 3 Post your announcement on Facebook It is apparent that organizations are finding that the current, broad tools for CSR application are not always as practical or relevant in a local context. The IRI is an alternative and effective solution to this challenge, able to recognize and engage with the nuances of the local culture, while still working towards international standards of best practice and overcoming international challenges. *Please include a quote (suggested word count: 120 words) including the following information: Motivation for becoming a member of the IRI Area of expertise / intended contribution to the IRI Name of organization and name and position of person quoted The IRI welcomes members from across the Islamic world to join the IRI, for leadership, development, and support, to help realize the extensive and positive impact this initiative can have on society and the environment.
