03. GRI gap analysis
De Beers Group is proud of its ‘Building Forever’ sustainability strategy which is reflected in the way the report is structured and written. We worked with De Beers Group on mapping GRI disclosures to its content structure and worked in collaboration with the Group’s copywriters to carry out stakeholder interviews and capture important disclosure details. We also contributed to reviewing and advising on the materiality section within its report in alignment with regulatory expectations.

03. GRI gap analysis
De Beers Group’s approach to ESG disclosure is both detailed and comprehensive; the business has been leveraging the GRI framework for a number of years. We helped them navigate the expansion and updates with the GRI 2021 disclosure framework, mapping its previous disclosures to the new framework and delivering a gap analysis against the 2021 framework.
For the 2022 report, we carried out a critical analysis across the 148+ disclosure requirements of the GRI to enhance the level of detail and transparency of De Beers’ ESG reporting. The overall result led to increased disclosure alignment and evolution of its GRI disclosure reporting.
