Catalyst for a sustainable world

We 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 over 14,000 organizations in over 100 countries, our Standards are advancing the practice of sustainability reporting, and enabling companies and other stakeholders to build sustainable, long-term value – benefiting people and planet.

As confirmed by 2024 research from KPMG, the GRI Standards remain the most widely used sustainability reporting standards globally.
