Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is the architect of a system of global sustainability standards that provides a common global language to assess and report on environmental, social and economic impacts.

For almost 30 years, GRI has engaged in a global multi-stakeholder process to define and refine the global best practice for sustainability reporting. Today, the GRI Standards are the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting standards.
