What we do

End-to-end GRI reporting support

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is one of the most widely recognized ways to communicate sustainability performance to stakeholders, but producing credible reporting under this framework is resource-intensive. It requires a defensible impact materiality process, comprehensive topic coverage, and consistent documentation across teams.

Greenplaces provides end-to-end support for reporting in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative, helping companies identify their most significant impacts, collect the right data, and publish GRI disclosures that meet the framework’s rigorous standards.

Who this is for

If your team is stretched thin or struggling to manage topic breadth, Greenplaces helps reduce effort while improving credibility.

Greenplaces supports organizations that are:

  • Preparing a first-time GRI report or formalizing sustainability disclosures

  • Responding to stakeholder expectations for transparency and accountability

  • Building regulatory readiness in Europe, APAC, or global markets

  • Aligning reporting across frameworks such as ISSB, CSRD, and CDP

  • Seeking a more structured, repeatable approach to impact-based sustainability reporting

Global standards

Why GRI reporting matters

GRI is especially common in Europe and APAC and is frequently used to support Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings, stakeholder engagement, and broader disclosure strategies within sustainability reporting. Disclosure aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative is not just a communications exercise — it is a foundation for trust, accountability, and long-term sustainability governance.

01   Stakeholder trust and accountability
GRI is designed to help organizations report their most significant impacts on internal and external stakeholders, building credibility with customers, investors, and regulators.

02   ESG ratings and investor alignment
GRI disclosures feed directly into ESG rating methodologies and support investor engagement by providing consistent, comparable sustainability data.

03   Long-term regulatory readiness
For companies operating in or supplying to European, APAC, and global markets, GRI reporting builds a foundation for CSRD, ISSB, and other regulatory frameworks.

Impact Materiality

How GRI is different: impact materiality

The framework is based on impact materiality, meaning companies are expected to report on their most significant actual and potential impacts — not only what is financially material.

That approach can create complexity:

01   A broader universe of topics —
 GRI covers environmental, social, governance, and economic impacts, requiring cross-functional data gathering across your entire organization.

02   Higher expectations for documentation —
 Stakeholder engagement, topic selection rationale, and management approach narratives must be clearly documented and defensible.

03   More time required to complete disclosures —
 Comprehensive GRI reporting typically requires significant internal coordination across multiple teams and data systems.

Greenplaces makes impact materiality structured, defensible, and scalable
Greenplaces helps companies apply impact materiality in a way that holds up year over year. We deliver a documented materiality assessment with a clear rationale for every topic selected within your reporting boundary — so you can report with confidence.
