Advisory Group
Advisory Group
Advisory Groups are established from time to time on an ad hoc basis to provide specific advice to GRI’s governance bodies.
At present, the Governmental Advisory Group (GovGroup) is the only established advisory group. It is an informal advisory body to the GRI Board and Chief Executive.
Members are representatives of governments and public authorities with an interest in environmental, social and governance disclosure. The GovGroup provides the GRI Board and the Executive team with a direct source of advice from governments.
