As a member of SPLC, GRI will participate in the organisation’s Assessment Working Group, where it will lend its expertise in reporting to the development of a Sustainability Assessment tool offered by SPLC.
In other GRI news, the standard setter recently welcomed the first two IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, calling them a “significant milestone” in the realisation of a strengthened global corporate reporting system.
The standards, developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), set out requirements for companies to disclose information about their sustainability-related risks and opportunities, as well as their impacts on society and the environment.
