Linking the GRI standards to other sustainability reporting frameworks

Globally, the GRI Standards:

are the worlds only complete set of standards. They enable companies and organisations to address all their important impacts, no matter what they are (economic, social, environmental)
address all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) without the need to use other frameworks
are used by 80% of the world’s largest 250 companies for sustainability reporting
are the recommended, by the UN Global Compact, sustainability reporting framework for companies to communicate on progress made

A good plan of action

Reporting organisations use the GRI Standards to create a complete report and utilise other frameworks where and when needed - and link these to the GRI Standards. Below is a link with all the linkage documents that link the GRI Standards to other frameworks:
