Background

The UN SSE and GRI have collaborated in developing a training program aimed at building capacity and both introductory and technical knowledge of the GRI Standards. The GRI Standards and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards can be viewed as two interconnected reporting pillars that address distinct perspectives, which can together form a comprehensive corporate reporting regime for the disclosure of sustainability information. This training program includes two 1.5 hour modules to guide both new and experienced report preparers and is certified by CPD for 1.5 CPD credits per module.

Advanced Session on the GRI Standards

This module provides an overview of the revised GRI Universal Standards 2021 and highlights the differences from the previous version of the Standards. It offers a detailed discussion on materiality according to the GRI Standards and explains how to report on material topics, as well as ‘double materiality’ and the evolving reporting landscape, particularly IFRS and TCFD. This session is suited for participants who would like to further their learning from the first Module and those who already report using GRI.

This training course is certified by CPD and participants will receive a certificate upon completion of a feedback survey.
