Report to the GRI Standards, without decoding the Universal and Topic Standards yourself.
Every part of a compliant report handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from adoption and material topics through the disclosures to the content index, assurance and improvement, with the evidence a reviewer examines.
Report-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. The GRI Standards are the global standards for sustainability reporting: apply the reporting principles, make the general disclosures, determine your material topics from your most significant impacts, report the topic-specific disclosures, publish a content index with a statement of use, and ideally assure the data. An organization that produces a sustainability report but cannot show how it determined material topics, or lacks a content index, is exactly where organizations fall short of reporting in accordance with the Standards.

This Kit removes the guesswork. It is a GRI-compliant report written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a reviewer examines.

What you get, the moment you buy

18
Report elements as adopt-ready controls. Every part, from adoption and principles through general disclosures, material topics, topic disclosures, the content index and assurance, written so you personalize and apply it.
18
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what a reviewer examines, plus where organizations fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
Sustainability Reporting Control Matrix, pre-built. Every element in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each element and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in the GRI Standards, with the reporting principles, general disclosures under GRI 2, the material topics process under GRI 3, the Topic and Sector Standard disclosures, the content index and statement of use, and assurance called out. Editable Word and Excel files.

Materiality and the content index are what a reviewer checks first
Reporting in accordance with the GRI Standards turns on determining material topics from your significant impacts, and on a content index with a statement of use that shows exactly what you reported. An organization with a glossy report but a weak materiality process or no content index falls short. This Kit builds the materiality, disclosure and index controls with the evidence a reviewer asks for.

What one control looks like

This is adopting the GRI Standards, where reporting begins. All 18 are built to this depth.

GRI-1 Adopt the GRI Standards ADOPTION
Put this control in place

Adopt the GRI Standards as the basis for [your organization name]'s sustainability reporting, deciding whether to report in accordance with or with reference to the Standards, with senior commitment and an owner, and document it, so that reporting has a recognised basis and the organization can evidence its adoption of the GRI Standards.

Standard note.

The GRI Standards are the global standards for sustainability reporting, comprising Universal, Sector and Topic Standards.

Evidence a reviewer examines
  • Adoption of the GRI Standards
  • In accordance with or with reference to
  • Senior commitment and owner
Common finding they raise: Sustainability reporting has no recognised standard behind it.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. A disclosure you cannot substantiate undermines the whole report. This tells you what a reviewer examines and where organizations fall short, for every element.
  • Materiality, disclosures and index built in. The material topics process, the general and topic disclosures and the content index are written into the controls, the substance the Standards require.
  • Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
  • It compounds. GRI aligns with the TCFD, ISSB and CDP, so this work feeds your wider sustainability and ESG reporting.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for a compliant report
