Current programs

Our work to advance the practice of sustainability reporting in the region is made possible with the support of our generous donors.

Currently, we are supported by the Swiss Confederation’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), PORTICUS and Climate Works.

Our focus is on the following programs:

Supporting Government Regulators and Stock Exchanges

We continue to strengthen our collaboration with government regulators and stock exchanges across the ASEAN region to build capacity among reporting organizations. Through strategic partnerships, GRI supports these institutions in equipping businesses with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the growing complexity of sustainability and ESG-related regulations, and to produce high-quality, decision-useful sustainability reports.

 

Empowering Businesses for Sustainable Reporting

Recognizing the pivotal role of businesses in driving sustainable development, GRI ASEAN offers tailored support to companies of all sizes. We work closely with industry associations and chambers of commerce [such as Indonesia Employer Association (APINDO), Indonesia Publicly Listed Association (AEI), and the Philippine Swiss Business Council (PSBC)] across the region to scale outreach and build sector-specific capacity. Through partnerships with these organizations, we guide businesses in adopting the GRI Standards help embed sustainability into core business strategies, foster long-term value creation, build trust with stakeholders and effectively communicate their sustainability impacts.

 

Strengthening SMEs' Sustainability Capacities

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are vital to ASEAN’s economies, and GRI ASEAN works with regional organizations and national trade ministries to help SMEs build their sustainability reporting capabilities. Through our partnerships with the Ministries of Trade in the Philippines and Indonesia, we supporting SMEs in meeting growing local and international sustainability requirements to ensure they remain competitive, integrate into sustainable value chains, and enhance their resilience in an increasingly sustainability-driven market.

Engaging the Legal Profession in ESG Discourse

GRI ASEAN recognizes the critical role of legal professionals in helping businesses navigate sustainability-related risks, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance responsibilities. To support this, we are actively engaging the legal community to build knowledge on ESG and sustainability reporting. 

In collaboration with Allen & Gledhill, one of Southeast Asia’s leading law firms, GRI ASEAN launched an ESG Masterclass Series for Legal Professionals and a thought leadership article series to build legal sector capacity on ESG issues. These initiatives explore topics such as disclosure obligations, greenwashing risks, and the legal profession’s role in guiding businesses through evolving sustainability regulations and expectations.

GRI ASEAN Network Location

The GRI ASEAN Network is located in Singapore covering all ASEAN region. We also have Country Desks in Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia.
