What is the Global Reporting Initiative?

Created in 1997, the GRI brings together companies, government representatives, and non-governmental organizations working in areas such as human rights, the environment and labor. The GRI cooperates actively with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Compact.  

Its mission is to develop globally applicable guidelines to be used by companies in reporting on the economic, environmental, human resources and social dimensions of their activities.

GRI guidelines include:

• guidance on producing annual reports and sustainable development reports;
• sector supplements, taking into account issues unique to certain sectors;
• technical protocols describing how to measure and present results for each performance indicator; 
• model documents for presenting and organizing information.       

Today, more than 1000 companies and organizations worldwide use GRI guidelines to report on their activities. The use of these guidelines is a voluntary commitment.

In 2006, GRI launched a process of consultations of its stakeholders in order to actualize its guidelines. Renault participated in these consultations via EpE and ORSE, and uses the new indicators of GRI guidelines (the G3).
