GRI Sustainability Taxonomy
Digitalizing the GRI Standards - public consultation
Learn about the development of the GRI Sustainability Taxonomy based on the GRI Standards and provide your feedback on the work taking place.
Reporting sustainability impacts is increasingly becoming a necessity for organizations around the world. It is therefore crucial to facilitate digital reporting (reporting using a digital, machine-readable format) across different regulations. This enhances access to impact-related sustainability data and helps reduce compliance costs.
That is why GRI is developing a comprehensive taxonomy for its Standards, based on XBRL, a standardized format for organizing and exchanging business information. XBRL is commonly used for financial reporting.
Put simply, a structured framework is created to organize and classify content which can then be digitally reported using the GRI Standards. This will significantly improve access to sustainability data for multiple stakeholders.
The public consultation period has officially terminated, and we are currently working on the official launch of the taxonomy. Find out more using the links below.
