Dive Brief:
The Global Reporting Initiative, which provides the most widely used global sustainability standards as of 2024, released draft reporting guidelines Monday for how companies should measure and report air and soil pollution, as well as “critical incident” reporting.
This represents the standard setter’s first standard for soil pollution, according to a Monday press release. GRI is seeking public comment on the trio of drafts by June 8.
The standards incorporate and replace prior emissions and spills disclosures that were previously a part of emissions and “effluents and waste” reporting standards GRI issued in 2016.
