The Global Reporting Initiative is in the process of developing the new G4 GRI Guidelines, planned to be launched in May 2013. G4 is GRI’s fourth generation of Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

The Guidelines development is influenced by changes in the reporting field, such as the introduction of new concepts, trends and tools, and requests by new players. By developing guidance, GRI aims to drive and direct sustainability reporting, towards a sustainable global economy.
