G.B.S. Documents

he G.B.S. Standards provide operative guidance in the form of useful directions to draft a social report. They represent an impartial point of view, aimed to grant information completeness, reliability and transparency of its gathering, elaboration and representation processes. The standards definition procedure is wide, articulate and complex; it starts within the working group, which drafts the documents through the comparison of different ideas and perspective. Subsequently, the Scientific Committee examines such papers having the authority to approve them, not to approve them or to return them to undergo further elaborations, integrations or changes. Once licensed by the Scientific Committee, the documents are transmitted to the Board of Directors for the final approval and they are eventually published. The involvement of several bodies (working group, Scientific Committee and Board of Directors) equals a sort of guarantee for the standards to mirror the Association orientation, in the widest possible way.
