It's unclear where GRI-checked reports fall under the credit requirements - would they be considered self-declared for 1/2 value or third-party verified for full value? My guess was self-declared, but perhaps there could be an in-between (3/4 value?) for GRI-checked reports.
Also, for those who haven't used it before, here's a link to the GRI Sustainability Disclosure Database: http://database.globalreporting.org/search

I agree with Christine above; the GRI Sustainability Disclosure Database is very helpful in documenting this credit.
Another good source is the UN Global Compact database: https://www.unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants

I agree and the link that Christine posted is very useful
In looking for the reports I have found that many of the manufacturers do not have their sustainability reports drafted and are just looking into them - moving to LEED v4 in November and working to obtain the credit is going to be interesting, this will dictate selection of material and require early research. Also I found that many of the manufactures stated that they are looking at updates on a 3 to 4 year cycle and obtaining a current report is going to be difficult.
