The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is one of the most commonly used reporting frameworks to guide companies through their sustainability journey. Whether you are just getting started or have been reporting for years, we’ll take a fresh look at the GRI and, in particular, how it intersects with your public affairs objectives related to public policy, stakeholder engagement, transparency, reputation management and delivering value to the business.
Agenda
10 a.m.
Intersection of the Global Reporting Initiative and Public Affairs
We’ll start the workshop by looking at the GRI tool itself and its guidance related to key public affairs objectives.
We’ll cover:
- How this framework relates to your program and company and how to determine if it is the right reporting tool for you
- Stakeholder engagement that builds trust and meets rising expectations for reporting, transparency and sustainability commitments
- How to get internal alignment across your organization
- Increased focus on materiality
- How to analyze what you report through the GRI framework to determine CSR’s ROI for your company

How Public Affairs Professionals Leverage the GRI to Drive Bottom-Line Impact
After looking at the framework, we’ll hear from professionals tasked with delivering ROI through sustainability efforts at their company.
They’ll discuss:
- How they approach the GRI as a measurement tool that showcases ROI
- How the GRI drives internal collaboration, both locally and globally
