GRI Standards – Sustainability Reporting Training

What are GRI Standards?

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards are the world’s most widely used framework for sustainability reporting. Developed to help organizations transparently communicate their economic, environmental, and social impacts, the GRI Standards offer a comprehensive structure for reporting on sustainability performance, aligning with stakeholder expectations and global sustainability goals.

The GRI Standards are modular, credible, and globally applicable, used by thousands of organizations—including governments, corporates, and NGOs—to publish sustainability reports that meet international best practices.
