A survey from the Conference Board and Bloomberg has found that more U.S.-based corporations are adopting the Global Reporting Initiative framework, which sets out guidelines for disclosing their economic, environmental and social impact.

The report, “Sustainability Practices 2015,” found that the number of S&P 500 that referenced GRI guidelines increased from 25 percent in 2013 to 31 percent in 2014. Eight out of 10 industries increased overall disclosure, with telecommunication services showing the greatest increase of more than six percentage points.
