GRI Reporting – Global Sustainability Standards & ESG Disclosures
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Reporting is the most widely used sustainability reporting framework, enabling businesses to communicate their ESG performance, sustainability initiatives, and corporate social responsibility efforts transparently. The GRI Standards provide a structured methodology for reporting on economic, environmental, and social impacts, helping businesses enhance stakeholder trust, regulatory compliance, and sustainability benchmarking.
At Clenergize, we specialize in GRI-compliant sustainability reporting, ensuring businesses align with global best practices, investor expectations, and evolving ESG disclosure regulations.
What is GRI Reporting
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a globally recognized sustainability reporting standard that helps organizations disclose their ESG risks, sustainability strategies, and corporate responsibility practices in a standardized, comparable, and credible manner
GRI Standards are categorized into three key series
Sector Standards – Industry-specific disclosures tailored to different economic sectors
Topic-Specific Standards – ESG reporting on environmental, social, and governance topics such as emissions, labor practices, and anti-corruption
GRI promotes corporate transparency, accountability, and sustainable business practices, aligning with other reporting frameworks like IFRS S1 & S2, SASB, CSRD, TCFD, and CDP
Who Needs to Report Under GRI
Publicly listed companies, multinational corporations, and ESG-focused organizations seeking global sustainability credibility
Businesses looking to enhance ESG transparency for investors, regulatory bodies, and stakeholders
Organizations with sustainability-linked financing including green bonds, SLLs, and ESG investment portfolios
Companies complying with international ESG reporting mandates such as EU CSRD, SEC climate disclosure, and ISSB standards
