The Global Reporting Initiative GRI is the most widely used framework for sustainability reporting.

It helps companies to implement corporate social responsibility into their daily business and to report transparently on the social, economic and environmental performance of their organisation.

In 2016 the new GRI Standards were launched with a modular system, 3 universal standards and 33 topic-specific standards. Starting from 1 July 2018 the old framework is no longer valid.

This Transition module helps experienced reporters familiar with the old Framework (GRI G3 and GRI G4) to manage the transition successfully. The previous certification on GRI Guidelines is not required.

Benefits

  • Helping the users of GRI G4 Guidelines to make a smooth transition to GRI Standards.
  • Understanding the main features of the new GRI Standards and its modular approach.
  • Official certificate signed by GRI upon successful completion of the workshop.

  • Project managers or consultants implementing the social responsibility guidance
  • Persons responsible for a social responsibility program conformity in
    an organisation
  • Members of the social responsibility team
