GRI's vision is to create a future where sustainability is integral to every organization's decision making process.

Inclusiveness and multi-stakeholder representation are foundational features of our organization, fundamental to forming a global perspective and advance our mission to empower decision makers to take action. 

This is thoroughly reflected in our governance structure: we have opened our search for global representation and a broad range of perspectives to enable us to carry out our mission and warmly encourage you to review the opportunities to getting involved and/or spread the word as widely as possible.
