2012 Tim Hortons Sustainability & Responsibility Report

GRI Application Level B

We self-declare that our 2012 Sustainability and Responsibility Report meets GRI Application Level B. The GRI Application Level1 system provides organizations with a pathway towards continuous improvement of their sustainability reporting. The Application Levels reflect the reporting organization’s degree of transparency and are intended to motivate reporters to enhance the quality of their reporting over time.

The GRI Application Levels indicate the extent to which the G3.1 Guidelines have been applied in sustainability reporting. They communicate which part of the Reporting Framework has been addressed – which set of disclosures, varying with the different Levels. The Levels do not give an opinion on the sustainability performance of the reporting organization, the quality of the report, or on formal compliance with the G3.1 Guidelines.
