GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is the independent, international organization that helps businesses and other organizations take responsibility for their impacts, by providing them with the global common language to communicate those impacts.
The GRI Secretariat is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and we have a network of five regional networks to ensure we support organizations and stakeholders worldwide.
About GRI brochureWe work with businesses, investors, policymakers, civil society, labor organizations and other experts to develop the GRI Standards and promote their use by organizations around the world.
Used by some 14,000 organizations in over 100 countries, the Standards are advancing the practice of sustainability reporting, and enabling organizations and their stakeholders to take action that creates economic, environmental and social benefits for everyone.
As confirmed by 2024 research from KPMG, the GRI Standards remain the most widely used sustainability reporting standards globally.
