Standards developmentThe GRI Standards enable any organization – large or small, private or public – to understand and report on their impacts on the economy, environment and people, in a comparable and credible way. In addition to companies, the Standards are highly relevant to investors, policymakers, capital markets, governments, civil society and other stakeholders.
The Standards are designed as an easy-to-use modular set, delivering an inclusive picture of an organization's material topics, their related impacts, and how they are managed.
