What must organizations disclose under the GRI Topic-specific Standards?

Organizations are required to disclose performance indicators that are relevant to their socio-economic and environmental impacts as per the GRI Topic-specific Standards. This focus ensures that stakeholders receive comprehensive information about the organization's contributions and effects in various areas, such as sustainability, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. By reporting on these indicators, organizations can communicate their performance in relation to established expectations and benchmarks, facilitating transparency and accountability.

This approach aligns with GRI's mission to promote accurate and meaningful reporting, allowing organizations to highlight their sustainability efforts, identify areas for improvement, and enhance stakeholder engagement. The emphasis on socio-economic and environmental impacts directly supports the broader goals of sustainable development by encouraging organizations to adopt responsible practices that take into account both their operational footprint and the well-being of surrounding communities and ecosystems.
