Reporting signals a responsible organization: one that is dedicated to being open and honest with its stakeholders.
Through reporting, an organization can understand and better manage its impacts on people and the planet. It unlocks crucial data to identify and reduce risks, seize new opportunities, and take action towards becoming a trusted organization that contribues to a more sustainable world.
The GRI Standards help organizations understand their impacts on the economy, environment, and society - including those on human rights. This enhances accountability and transparency on their contribution to sustainable development.
The Standards are a modular system comprised of three series of Standards to be used together: Universal Standards, Sector Standards, and Topic Standards.
Organizations can use the GRI Standards to prepare a sustainability report in accordance with the Standards, or use selected Standards to disclose information for specific users or purposes.
