Learn how the Global Reporting Initiative helps organizations communicate sustainability performance with reliable, audit-ready data.
What if your sustainability performance could speak for itself in a language investors, regulators, and partners already understand? That’s what the Global Reporting Initiative, or GRI, standards help make possible.
In this video, we explain what GRI is, why it matters, and how organizations use GRI standards to report on environmental, social, and governance impact. GRI provides a comprehensive framework for sustainability reporting, covering topics such as carbon emissions, water use, labor conditions, and anti-corruption policies. The goal is to help stakeholders understand a company’s real-world impact, supported by consistent and reliable data.
GRI reporting is used by organizations around the world and increasingly referenced in regulatory frameworks, procurement requirements, and investor conversations. For businesses, credible GRI reporting can help signal transparency, accountability, and stronger governance. It can also help turn sustainability data into a business asset, supporting better decisions, stronger stakeholder trust, and new opportunities for capital and partnerships.
But preparing GRI disclosures can be complex. Organizations need to identify material topics, understand which GRI standards apply, and collect consistent, auditable data from finance, HR, operations, and supply chain systems. SAP Sustainability solutions help bring that data together in one governed platform with AI-enabled automation, so organizations can create accurate, consistent, and audit-ready sustainability reporting.
Done well, GRI reporting helps organizations build credibility, attract capital, and communicate sustainability performance with confidence.
