GreenBiz.com, 26 November 2007 - A handful of global food companies has joined the Global Reporting Initiative to develop sustainability indicators specific to the food processing industry.

Nestle, Tyson Foods, Bunge and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters are the first members to join the GRI working group. GRI plans to have the complete working group roster in place by early December. The working group's first meeting will take place in Sao Paolo, Brazil, early 2008.

The working group's Sector Supplement on Food Processing is meant to complement GRI's general G3 Guidelines for sustainability reporting which are designed to help companies and stakeholders measure and communicate sustainability progress in the areas of economic, social and environmental performance.
