GRI

Introduction to GRI

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international, independent standards organization that aids businesses, governments, and other organizations in understanding and communicating their impact on issues such as climate change, human rights, governance, and social well-being. Since its establishment in 1997, the GRI framework has been widely adopted and is recognized as the leading standard for sustainability reporting across the globe.

The GRI framework's universal Standards provide a robust yet flexible reporting system that is applicable to organizations of any size, type, sector, or geographic location. It fosters transparency and enables organizations to measure, understand, and communicate their sustainability performance.

Understanding the GRI Framework

The GRI Standards consist of three universal standards applicable to any organization and 33 topic-specific standards. The universal standards cover foundational aspects:

1. GRI 101: Foundation: It sets out the Reporting Principles for defining report content and quality.
2. GRI 102: General Disclosures: It covers organizational profile, strategy, ethics and integrity, governance, stakeholder engagement, and reporting practice.
3. GRI 103: Management Approach: It outlines how to report on the organization's approach to managing its impacts on the economy, environment, and people.

The topic-specific standards delve into specific areas of economic, environmental, and social impacts, allowing organizations to report in a way that is both relevant and actionable.
