GRI in South Asia

Who we work with

South Asia Charter on Sustainability Imperatives

As an outcome of the GRI South Asia Summit, held in July 2020, we have led the development of a Charter on Sustainability Imperatives, which commits to a decade of urgent action in South Asia to ensure the completion of the SDGs.

This multi-stakeholder created charter is now available for businesses across the region to sign – signalling their commitment to sustainable development.
