Review of GRI's Waste Disclosures - Get Involved!

GRI and the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) are excited to announce the review of their waste disclosures in the GRI 306 Effluents and Waste reporting standard.

Stakeholders with expertise in the topic of Effluents and Waste can apply now to join the multi-stakeholder Project Working Group that will develop recommended content for the Standard, following the GSSB’s Due Process Protocol. The call for nominations for Project Working Group members is open now through 22 April 2018. Project Working Group membership will be confirmed in late May 2018, with the initial revision work expected to take place between June 2018 and September 2019.

More information on the review process, including the Project Proposal, Terms of Reference, Candidate Application Form, and application instructions can be found on the project page.

In addition, there will be future opportunities to participate in the public comment period for the draft version of the revised Standard. Further information about these opportunities and other project developments will follow later in 2018. Sign-up for updates here.

You can read more about this development and other Standards planned for review in 2018 on the GRI webpage. For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the GSSB or the GRI Standards Division: standards@globalreporting.org.
