More than 260 French-speaking organizations use the GRI framework to produce sustainability reports that clearly show their economic, social and environmental impacts. And with the change from G4 Guidelines to GRI’s Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards), these organizations can work with a new clear, modular model to help them improve on their reporting.
Companies whose main working language is French can now access the GRI Standards in French. The translation appears after a successful crowdfunding campaign in which participating sponsors raised funds to ensure the quality, consistency, accuracy and ease of use of the translations.
