Charting a Greener Path: Reporting on Biodiversity with the GRI Standards

See how the GRI Standards work together and where biodiversity fits within the Universal, Topic, and Sector Standards. You will learn which disclosures to use and how “in accordance” reporting supports credible communication. The section equips you to navigate GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024 and link it to your reporting process.

Nature loss creates operational risk, legal exposure, and community impacts—and it also drives innovation in strategy and data. You will review current pressures and policy signals, and identify realistic opportunities to improve measurement, targets, and actions. Expect practical examples that translate global trends into steps you can take.

Every business depends on ecosystem services and affects nature across its value chain. In this section, you will map material impacts, risks, and opportunities and connect them to governance, strategy, and metrics. The result is a clear case for action that resonates with boards, investors, and stakeholders.

Turn analysis into disclosures. You will learn how to collect information, set boundaries, and report policies, actions, and results using GRI 101 with the wider GRI system. We also cover coherence with other instruments, so your reporting remains consistent across frameworks.
