The reporting implements the GRI G4 reporting option "comprehensive". For the formal GRI index, see  formal GRI Index.

There is no external review of the sustainability reporting in its entirety. Instead, individual processes, results and indicators are inspected in detail by external parties:

• The  Stakeholder Panel examined the selection of material aspects (see  G4-18 and  G4-19), see  Panel statement and the  Response from Geberit to the Panel statement.
• Financial reporting is audited by an external auditor, see  Report of the statutory auditor.
• Reporting on the energy and greenhouse gas balance sheet is submitted as part of the Carbon Disclosure Project and reviewed and assessed as part of the usual evaluation.
• All production sites and logistics as a whole work with an integrated management system and have a   Group certificate in accordance with ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment).. By mid-2016, all plants will also integrate the OHSAS 18001 standard for occupational health and safety management and individual sites will integrate the ISO 50001 standard for energy management.
• On-site audits (quality, environment, safety) are carried out by Geberit and since 2012 also by certified third-party specialists as part of on-site supplier auditing, see  chapter Suppliers.

In the  formal GRI Index all external auditing processes are listed under the respective general and specific information on the GRI standards.
