New Climate Standards can unlock actionable and streamlined reporting on impacts
GRI launches Climate Change and Energy Standards to drive corporate accountability and deliver accessible, decision-useful disclosure
Recognizing that an escalating climate crisis calls for integrated and global solutions, GRI has launched new Climate Change and Energy Standards to empower organizations to take accountability for their impacts and accelerate climate action.
- GRI 102: Climate Change emphasizes that achieving substantial reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is the primary mitigation step organizations can take. It sets reporting expectations based on science-based targets and global climate goals – while incorporating ‘just transition’ metrics covering impacts on workers, local communities and Indigenous Peoples.
- GRI 103: Energy comprehensively addresses an organization’s energy-related impacts and activities. With disclosures on decarbonization efforts, renewable and non-renewable energy use, as well as where and how energy reductions occur, it positions responsible energy use as a central component of a company’s approach to climate change mitigation.
