Use this on-line sort tool to match G3 Indicators with Global Compact Principles.

The GRI Guidelines can enhance GC participants communications with their stakeholders in number of ways:

• The G3 Guidelines address key aspects of the Global Compact by covering the status of implementation and performance for each Global Compact principle.

• G3’s disclosures are designed to ensure presentation of a reporter’s performance in an appropriate context (ex., strategy and vision, management approach)

• Aside from content coverage, the G3 Guidelines provide guidance on many relevant decisions related to reporting that enhance the quality of the COP.

• G3 Guidelines provide an incremental approach that encourages companies to expand reporting at their own pace. This is consistent with the concept of continuous improvement upon which the COP is based.

• Knowledge accumulated in the GRI Guidelines over the last ten years provides a global, multi-stakeholder view on how to assess performance around the same issues covered by the GC principles.

Visit the Global Compact website for more information on the Communication on Progress (COP) requirements.

“Companies participating in both initiatives have long stressed the understanding  that the GRI is a practical expression of the Global Compact.”
