Sustainability reporting is no longer a “nice-to-have” for food businesses—it’s a regulatory must. With frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) ramping up disclosure requirements, businesses need reliable, standardized reporting that aligns with global best practices. And even if you don’t fall within the scope of CSRD, reporting will definitively gain you a competitive advantage. That’s why we’re excited to share that Klimato is a licensed partner of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)—the world’s leading sustainability reporting framework.
But what does this mean for your business? And how does it help with Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon reporting and compliance? Let’s break it down.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) provides the most widely used sustainability reporting standards worldwide, helping businesses disclose their environmental and social impact with transparency and credibility. In fact, GRI has been instrumental in shaping sustainability regulations including the CSRD.
Here’s why GRI remains critical:
• Aligned with CSRD & ESG Regulations: GRI standards are closely mapped to European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), ensuring that businesses using GRI are well-prepared for upcoming regulations.
• Comprehensive Scope 1, 2, 3 Reporting: GRI provides a structured, standardized framework for tracking direct (Scope 1), indirect (Scope 2), and value chain emissions (Scope 3)—critical for food businesses looking to stay compliant and reduce their carbon footprint.
• Trusted by Regulators & Investors: Transparency is key. GRI-based reporting is widely recognized by governments, investors, and stakeholders, making it a smart move for businesses looking to enhance credibility and attract funding.
We don’t just help businesses track and report—we do it ourselves, too. Our own sustainability report follows the same principles we advocate for, demonstrating how transparency in emissions reporting can drive real change.
