CRIF is pleased to announce that in July it obtained a prestigious Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) license, marking a significant step forward in its commitment to providing accurate and standardized ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) assessments.
This achievement was made possible with the integration of globally recognised sustainability reporting standards into CRIF’s Synesgy platform, ensuring greater consistency, transparency, and credibility in the data offered to investors, companies, and other stakeholders.
What is GRI?
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international non-profit organization founded in 1997, known for having revolutionized how companies report their sustainability performance. GRI’s mission is to establish a universal reporting standard that enables the collection of comparable and verifiable sustainability data, thereby promoting greater corporate accountability. GRI standards are used by thousands of companies and institutions worldwide, providing a comprehensive and transparent approach to reporting on environmental, social, and governance issues.
