GRI Reporting Framework

What is GRI?
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a network-based organization that has pioneered the development of the world's most widely-used sustainability reporting framework and is committed to its continuous improvement and application worldwide.

In order to ensure the highest degree of technical quality, credibility and relevance, the reporting framework is developed through a consensus-seeking process with participants drawn globally from business, civil society, labor and professional institutions.

This framework sets out the principles and indicators that organizations can use to measure and report their economic, environmental and social performance.

Benefits of GRI Reporting
Sustainability reports based on the GRI framework can be used to benchmark organizational performance with respect to laws, norms, codes, performance standards and voluntary initiatives; demonstrate organizational commitment to sustainable development; and compare organization performance over time.

GRI promotes and develops this standardized approach to reporting to stimulate demand for sustainability information which will benefit reporting organizations and those who use report information alike.
