To calculate the direct economic value that the company retains:
-
Compile the EVG&D data (see GRI 201-1), where possible, from data in the organization’s audited financial or profit and loss (P&L) statement, or its internally audited management accounts.
-
Subtract the Economic Value Distributed (EVD) from the Economic Value Generated (EVG), this will give you the Economic Value Retained (EVR).
