FAQ overview

Using the links on the left hand menu, you can find information and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the GRI Standards, by category.

Please note that, as an independent standard-setter, the GRI Standards Division is not able to provide interpretations of text in the Standards or to provide consultancy advice on how to apply the Standards. If a concept is not clarified by the text of the Standards, then it is up to the judgment of the reporting organization to interpret this.

For feedback on the Standards, please submit it to standards@globalreporting.org. The feedback received on the Standards may be shared publicly with the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB). The GSSB will consider this for future revisions of Standards and may develop FAQs, interpretations or guidance, as needed.
