Introduction to GRI Standards 2021 – What are the Changes for Reporting Companies?
On October 5, 2021, GSSB released its revised GRI Universal Standards, which will come into effect in January 2023. Reflecting comments and feedback received from a global consultation, the revised standards emphasize the importance of sound environmental and social due diligence along the value chain to identify, prevent and mitigate negative impacts and enhance a company’s positive contributions. In doing so, the revised standards integrate responsible business concepts in alignment with UN and OECD instruments.
