GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is a set of widely used standards for how companies disclose sustainability information—environmental, social and governance practices—in a consistent way. For investors it acts like a common checklist or ingredients label, making it easier to compare companies’ non-financial risks and long-term resilience, assess transparency, and track whether promised sustainability actions are actually being carried out.
