    Abstract
    This report is an analysis prepared for the Port of Portland's Sustainability Integration Team. The Port's committee is working toward integrating the concept of sustainability at the Port of Portland, with the expansion of sustainability reporting as one of its goals. The following report includes a benchmarking analysis, a gap analysis and a survey to help the Port assess the industry's best practices for sustainability reporting according to the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) framework and guidelines. The GRI is currently the leading organization that sets the standards for sustainability reporting. The Port is currently capable of achieving a mid-level application grade according to the GRI's grade-levels that rank the quality of sustainability reports. However, the Port is situated in Portland, OR, a city that prides itself on sustainability practices. Thus, the Port of Portland is encouraged to pursue the highest level of sustainability reporting according to the GRI's standards.
