The Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) Standards are a comprehensive set of standards provided as a free public good for companies to report their impacts on the economy, environment, and people. For its 2023-2025 workplan, the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) will ensure that the GRI Standards are developed and revised in line with expectations for responsible business conduct and due diligence, as outlined in initiatives including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as other instruments from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
In February 2023, the ICRC, Australian Red Cross (ARC) and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) submitted a contribution to the GRI public consultation on its GSSB Workplan 2023-2025. DCAF submitted a contribution as well and it can be viewed here.
