The sustainability report is, more than a tool of communication, a management tool, and therefore it constitutes a fundamental contribution for the implementation of sustainability models for the organizations independently from the sector or industry in which they are operating. The decision to report shows a genuine interest in favor of transparency and the accountability with respect to the different stakeholders, and imposes on the organization the challenge of communicating the material aspects of its management under ethical principles.

Within this scenario, in the Fundación Saldarriaga Concha we have assumed the challenge of communicating our sustainable management using the GRI methodology, thus being pioneers in the development of this type of reports within the nongovernmental sector of the Country, and one of the first organizations to implement the GRI supplement for NGOs published in the first semester of 2010.

After elaborating this Report and in accord with the classification levels defined by the GRI, we as a foundation self-declare our first version of the Level B Sustainability Report. Although we believe that we comply with the requirements and have enough indicators to qualify in the Level A classification, we have assumed the Level B classification, considering that since this is the first year that we use this methodology, we still have many things to learn, and see this as an opportunity to incorporate elements in future reports that will improve our sustainable management and will  in turn enable us to advance in our GRI classification.
