The GRI Standards are the world's most widely used framework for sustainability reporting, helping organizations disclose their impacts on the economy, environment and people.
The GRI Standards are a modular set of sustainability reporting standards published by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an independent international organization. They help organizations report their most significant impacts on the economy, the environment and people, including impacts on human rights.
GRI 403 is the topic standard most relevant to EHS teams. It asks organizations to disclose their safety management system, hazard identification and incident investigation processes, worker participation, training, and work-related injuries and ill health, including high-consequence injuries and fatalities.
A mining company prepared its annual sustainability report in accordance with the GRI Standards and the GRI Mining Sector Standard. Its safety section used GRI 403 to report recordable injury rates for employees and contractors, the main hazards causing high-consequence injuries and its critical control program.
No, but they are widely used voluntarily and some stock exchanges and regulators reference them.
GRI focuses on a company's impacts on people and the planet. The ISSB standards focus on how sustainability matters affect the company's financial prospects. Many companies use both.
It means the report meets all of GRI's requirements for that option, including reporting on all material topics.
