The G3.1 Guidelines
Display data through a GRI Content Index• flexibility to reach different
stakeholders in different ways.• flexibility to reference already
existing materials.• enhances ease of access for your
stakeholders.• communicates your Application
Level.
A GRI report..makes use of the G3 or G3.1 Guidelines
includes a GRI Content Index
and preferably declares an Application Level
GRI Application Levels
Objective classification system for G3/G3.1 reports
• Signifies to what extent the G3/G3.1 Guidelines have been used in a report.
• Meaning: Tells which set & how many disclosures have been addressed in the reporting.
A pathway for GRI reporters for incrementally improving GRI reporting
Rationale - Application Levels
“+” reportsMore than 70 percent of the G250 and 64 percent of N100 engage major accountancy firms.
Drive performance
Primarily responding to legal requirements
Improve reporting processes
Improve quality of reported information
Reinforce credibility among stakeholders

G4 challenges• Demand for sustainability performance
information is increasing – also from regulators
• Metrics is not coherent/harmonized• Lack of precision - leads to high reporting and
verification costs• Most reports lack material focus • Information in pdf of other unfriendly formats • “Integrated Reporting” is a trend
G4 Objectives• To be user-friendly for beginners and experienced
reporters• To improve the technical quality, clearer definitions• To align with other reporting frameworks • To offer guidance which leads to material reports
(“materiality”)• To offer guidance on how to link the sustainability
reporting and Integrated Report - aligned with IIRC• To provide support to improve data search (XBRL)

Main outcomes
1. Which elements stakeholders would like to see covered as a minimum in a sustainability report Q10 (1714)
2. GRI should define and “recommend” a set of topics and indicators per sector - Q16 (1715), Q17 (1407), Q13 (879)
3. GRI G4 should offer guidance on how to link sustainability reporting and IR - Q20 (1693)
4. Topics – top 6: Business Ethics, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Eco-Innovation, Life Cycle Assessment, Water, Biodiversity, - Q22 (1683)
Six main work streamsTechnical standardization by editing Task Force
Revision of parts of G3(G3.1) or new content by Working Groups
Harmonization by Secretariat and TAC
G4 online by Secretariat
XBRL G4 Taxonomy for G4 by Secretariat
Updating sector guidance (supplements)
1. Technical Editing Task Force“…to improve the technical quality of the GRI
Guidelines, by introducing clear descriptions of what is expected to be disclosed and alignment
with well established standard practices.”
Objective: the technical improvement will enable reports to be more technically robust, resulting in improved reporting processes, data gathering and auditing.
2. Revision of parts of G3(G3.1) or new content by WGs
• Disclosure on management approach• Governance • Boundary• Application Levels• Supply Chain
Inclusions and updates: Biodiversity, GHG, H&S, Corruption and five others (to be announced soon!!!)
3. Harmonization (and reference updating) – Secretariat and TAC
• Selection of documents, reporting metrics and other materials to be included in the Guidelines as references
• Guarantee that the final content is harmonized with main international reporting guidance (UNGC, OECD, etc.)
• Guarantee connection to IIRC framework development
G4IR
4. G4 on-line • To offer G4 also in a web based format• To make easier for beginners and experienced
companies to follow GRI Guidance and define the content in their GRI report
• To offer templates (to the ones interested in templates)
• To offer link to data tagging systems• And more…
5. G4 – GRI XBRL taxonomy
• GRI Taxonomy for G3(G3.1) launched in March – Launched a Voluntary Filing Program– GRI is looking for companies willing to tag
their sustainability data using the GRI Taxonomy
• This is the base for G4 XBRL version (and will help to improve technically G4 definitions)
