About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Investors Lead Demand for Businesses to Disclose Human Rights Impacts

By: 3BL Media

Global Reporting Initiative highlights why human rights is central to sustainability reporting

SOURCE: GRI

DESCRIPTION:

May 9, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Stakeholder demands are reaffirming that disclosure on human rights related impacts are central to how companies demonstrate accountability. This is a key conclusion of the new edition of The GRI Perspective, the regular series exploring topical themes in the world of sustainability reporting.

Better human rights reporting - needed now, but how? sets out that the way in which companies quantify their actions in relation to human rights is becoming a core element of ESG reporting. And as new research from the Workforce Disclosure Initiative underlines, investors are concerned by inconsistencies in what companies report on human rights risks.

This has been recognized in a major update to the Universal Standards, which require all organizations using the GRI Standards to report in line with intergovernmental expectations for human rights due diligence, as set by the UN and OECD – the first and only global reporting standards to do so.

Harold Pauwels, GRI Director of Standards, said:

“Human rights impacts are hugely important as they form the basis for wider reporting across the entire ESG spectrum. Yet measuring social data is complex. After all, it is easier to quantify a ton of carbon than place a value on human rights. That is why investors and other stakeholders are expecting companies to integrate human rights reporting into their policies, actions, strategy and risk assessment.

Through our revised Universal Standards, which come in to effect for all GRI reporting from January next year, we have integrated transparency on human rights at the heart of sustainability reporting. This helps any organization using the GRI Standards to adhere to the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights as well as emerging mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence legislation.”

The GRI Universal Standards 2021 update, launched in October last year, includes strengthened human rights due diligence reporting, addressing a previous gap between intergovernmental expectations on business and human rights and the available reporting frameworks.

The changes mean that disclosures on human rights impacts are now expressly included in the Universal Standards, which apply to all reporting organizations (rather than as a separate Topic Standard that a company is only required to report on if it determines it to be material).

GRI offers an online training course, Reporting on Human Rights with GRI Standards 2021 update, accessible now through the GRI Academy.

Six editions of The GRI Perspective have published so far. This briefing series was launched in 2022, with previous issues covering themes that range from stakeholder capitalism to the concept of materiality.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is the independent, international organization that helps businesses and other organizations take responsibility for their impacts, by providing the global common language to report those impacts. The GRI Standards are developed through a multi-stakeholder process and provided as a free public good.
