ESG Reporting Frameworks
GRI Reporting initiative: Foundation 2021
The GRI Standards enable organisations to report on their ESG programme of activity in a comparable and credible way. Reviewing the impact we make on ESG topics and our strategic priorities is what helps us keep up momentum as we strive to create change for better for our communities, society and the planet. The GRI core standards are also highly relevant to many of our stakeholders - including investors, policymakers and civil society.
