+ What is the GRI? The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a non-profit organization that promotes economic sustainability. It produces one of the world's most prevalent standards for sustainability reporting. A sustainability report is an organizational report that gives information about economic, environmental, social and governance performance.

+ A Brief History 1997 The GRI was formed by the United States based non- profits Ceres (formerly the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies) and Tellus Institute, with the support of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) 1999 The “exposure draft” version of the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines 2000 The first full version 2002 The second version was released at the World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg where the organization and the Guidelines were also referred to in the Plan of Implementation signed by all attending member states

+ Should the GRI be Mandatory? The GRI, while good in theory, has its limitations. Companies always self-report Reporting organizations can choose to: Have a third part offer an opinion on the self-declaration Request that the GRI check the self-declaration The GRI is based on the report and not necessarily the company’s actual activities At present, we do not believe the GRI should be mandatory.
