In June 2025, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) announced the launch of 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 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.
Both standards are based on scientific and authoritative global instruments on climate change and fully aligned with the GHG Protocol.
