On Tuesday, October 27, 2009, IFC and GRI will launch their Gender and Sustainability Reporting Publication at the 2009 CSR Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The workshop is for CSR Asia participants and practitioners who want to establish themselves as leaders in managing gender issues. It will highlight some of the existing and emerging business drivers for improving practices and reporting on material gender issues. In addition, legal and ethical imperatives for reporting on gender issues will be discussed. Practical steps will be offered on how to embed gender in sustainability reporting.

In particular, workshop leaders from GRI and IFC will focus in depth on 3 areas of top priority as per interest expressed by the participants, and draw on the recently produced Practitioners' Guide that is based on research and multi-stakeholder consultations in Brazil, India, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
