GRI Newsletter: Building Alliances for a More Sustainable World

Dear Reader,

November for GRI has been about cooperation, working with companies to kick-off or improve their reporting, and with other frameworks to achieve better alignment. From GRI in the Corporate Reporting Dialogue, to its participation in P4G in Denmark, the emphasis is on alliance and cooperation. For many, reporting season is getting started and for some inspiration we have stories from SMEs in Ghana, as well as more information about GRI Services that companies can use to improve their reports.

Enjoy!
