GRI - Home Overview & Contact Data

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an independent not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains the GRI Standards, a widely used framework for sustainability reporting and non-financial disclosure. The site serves companies, investors, regulators, civil society groups, and professionals who need a common language for measuring environmental, social, and economic impacts. GRI helps organizations identify material issues, disclose performance, and connect sustainability impacts to strategic decision-making. By providing globally applicable reporting standards, the platform supports transparency across sectors and helps reporters align their disclosures with stakeholder expectations. The site also helps reporters register published reports and access support to improve sustainability performance. The website offers access to the GRI Standards, translations, guidance, interpretations, and tools for preparing standalone sustainability reports or integrated ESG reports. It also covers the Sector Program, the GRI Sustainability Taxonomy, and alignment with other frameworks, giving users practical pathways for improving reporting quality. Additional resources include a resource center, FAQs, public policy information, capital markets content, and a goals and targets database. These materials help organizations and practitioners understand how to use the standards while staying informed about global reporting developments. GRI also provides GRI training, education services, reporting support, premium tools, and a membership community for organizations and commercial partners. Its professional certification program supports careers in sustainability reporting, and its news center, events, and podcasts connect users with current topics across the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As a widely recognized reporting initiative and a Netherlands-registered public benefit organization, GRI operates through multi-stakeholder governance, positioning it as a trusted reference for responsible business disclosure and long-term value creation.
