About the project
Background
In 2003, the GRI and UNEP FI co-convened a global, multi-stakeholder process involving key international financial sector and stakeholder leaders to create a Pilot Version 1.0 of the GRI Financial Services Sector Supplement (Environmental Performance). The environmental performance supplement was released in March 2005 and it complements the existing Pilot Version 1.0 of the GRI Financial Services Supplement (Social Performance) which was released in November 2002.
Since 2006 UNEP FI and GRI have jointly coordinated a working group to pilot and review the draft versions of the GRI Financial Services Sector Supplement (Environmental and Social Performance).
