The GRI Standards remain the most widely used sustainability reporting standards globally. A steady increase in sustainability reporting worldwide, reflects the growth of GRI since its launch in 1999. Over the last 20 years, sustainability reporting among the G250 has jumped from 45% in 2001 to an impressive 96% today. While the GRI standards are a voluntary framework, it is tailored to support companies in their compliance with general ESG and Climate impact reporting.
The Private Sector any company committed and/or required to, promote sustainability.
Help companies and organizations take charge of their environmental impact through a “global common language” that allows for reporting and baselining environmental impacts.
The GRI serves as a go-to framework, offering guidelines to assess how companies engage with sustainable development efforts and their climate action commitments. The GRI standards push companies to provide transparent data about their supply chains, including sourcing of raw materials like palm oil, mica, or other natural ingredients often associated with unethical practices in cosmetics. By reporting through the GRI’s standardised format, healthy and beauty brands, labs and suppliers more easily navigate growing regulatory reporting landscape, and meet consumer demand for ethical, transparent and sustainable products.
