Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

The “Global Reporting Initiative” refers to the large multi-stakeholder network of thousands of experts, in dozens of countries worldwide, who participate in GRI’s working groups and governance bodies, use the GRI Guidelines to report, or contribute to the development of the GRI reporting framework in other ways – both formally and informally.

GRI's vision is that reporting on economic, environmental, and social performance by all organisations becomes as routine and comparable as financial reporting.

GRI accomplishes this vision by developing, continuously improving and building capacity around the use of a Sustainability Reporting Framework, the core of which are the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. Other components in the Reporting Framework are Sector Supplements and Protocols. This reporting guidance - in the form of principles and indicators - is provided as a free public good.
