What reporting formats does GRI allow or recommend?

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) encourages flexibility in reporting formats to accommodate the diverse needs of organizations and stakeholders. By not imposing a strict requirement on a singular format for reports, GRI allows organizations to choose the method that best fits their audience and objectives. This could include electronic publishing, paper formats, or even digital presentations, thus providing a wider accessibility and engagement with the content.

Additionally, the acceptance of multiple formats aligns with the GRI's commitment to sustainability and adaptability, enabling organizations to effectively communicate their sustainability efforts and performance. By permitting various reporting formats, GRI supports organizations in reaching a broader audience and facilitating the dissemination of information in the most effective way for stakeholders.
