By using the GRI Guidelines, reporting
organizations disclose their most critical impacts – be they positive or
negative – on the environment, society and the economy. They can generate
reliable, relevant and standardized information with which to assess
opportunities and risks, and enable more informed decision-making – both within
the business and among its stakeholders. G4 is designed to be universally
applicable to all organizations of all types and sectors, large and small, across
the world.
