The Global Reporting Initiative

PIONEER OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

We have pioneered sustainability reporting since the late 1990s, transforming it from a niche practice to one now adopted by a growing majority of organizations. 

GRI’s Sustainability Reporting Standards are foundational to this success. With thousands of reporters in over 90 countries, GRI provides the world’s most widely used standards on sustainability reporting and disclosure, enabling businesses, governments, civil society and citizens to make better decisions based on information that matters. In fact, 92% of the world’s largest 250 corporations report on their sustainability performance.

GRI'S BRAND

​As part of our new strategy, we’ve developed the GRI brand to capture our vision, mission, and beliefs.

The connected dots of the GRI logo, which form the shape of the world, symbolize the important elements of our organization – connectivity and collaboration. We believe that we need a global perspective to change the world, and in the power of a multi-stakeholder process and inclusive network. Our new logo is an amalgamation of all those beliefs and values.
