Climate and Energy Standards available in more languages

Published date: 23 October 2025

GRI 102 and GRI 103 can now be accessed in French, Indonesian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese

Reflecting GRI’s mission to provide the global common language for sustainability reporting, the two newest GRI Standards are being translated into 10 languages – with official translations in French, Indonesian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese freely available for download 

Launched in English in June 2025, GRI 102: Climate Change and GRI 103: Energy empower organizations to accelerate climate action through accountability for their impacts, positioning substantial reductions in emissions as the primary mitigation step organizations need to take. 

  • The new Climate Change Standard sets reporting expectations based on science-based targets and global climate goals, encompassing how climate change transition and adaptation efforts reflect impacts on communities, Indigenous Peoples, workers, and biodiversity.  
  • The updated Energy Standard comprehensively addresses all energy-related impacts and activities – including disclosures on decarbonization, renewable energy use, as well as where and how energy reductions occur. 

 

Before the end of 2025, a further six translations of GRI 102 and 103 will be published – in Arabic, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese.  

GRI thanks the peer reviewers who contributed their time on a voluntary basis to ensure the accuracy and usability of these translations, expanding the accessibility of the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting standards.
