GRIESG & Sustainability Jobs

Independent international organization helping businesses and governments understand and communicate their sustainability impacts.

GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains the GRI Standards - a framework organizations use to measure and publicly report their impacts on the environment, society, and the economy. It serves companies, governments, and other entities of all sizes across sectors worldwide. GRI also offers training, reporting tools, and support services through its GRI Academy and membership community.

Why it matters

Transparency about corporate impacts is a foundational requirement for accountability on climate change, human rights, and sustainable development. The GRI Standards give organizations a common, comparable language for disclosing what they actually do - and what harm or benefit results - rather than relying on self-defined metrics. This comparability helps investors, regulators, and civil society hold organizations to account. GRI also works with policymakers to advance mandatory disclosure requirements globally, pushing sustainability reporting from voluntary practice toward regulatory norm.

With nearly 30 years of operation and standards used by thousands of organizations worldwide, GRI sits at the center of the corporate sustainability disclosure ecosystem, making it a significant employer for careers in standards development, policy, research, and sustainability education.
