FIELD GUIDE

About the G3 reporting desk

This edition brings the G3 project’s reporting history together with practical guides for people preparing and reading sustainability reports.

G3 reporting desk · Updated 27 October 2026Sources & editorial approach

From a launch website to a working reference

GRIG3.ORG originally introduced GRI’s third-generation Guidelines and the Amsterdam conference of 4–6 October 2006. Recovered pages cover public consultation, reporting guidance, speakers, sessions and supporting documents.

The restored edition keeps historical material identifiable by period. New guides focus on everyday reporting questions: boundaries, evidence, material topics, document versions and usable content indexes.

How to navigate the two periods

The archive documents what was published at the time. It is not an announcement of a new conference or an invitation to use an old registration form. The reporting desk is the route into the new practical material.

GRI Standards are developed under the Global Sustainability Standards Board. For current requirements, official interpretations, services and organizational contacts, follow the links to globalreporting.org.

Accuracy and corrections

Our editorial policy explains the distinction between recovered documents, current primary sources and practical examples. An example is never evidence of a real organization’s performance. Material published here is a learning resource; its presence does not certify a report.
