This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an independent body that has pioneered sustainability reporting from a niche practice to one now adopted by organizations around the world. Read what GRI's Chief Executive Tim Mohin has to say about the growth of sustainability reporting, the importance of transparency, competition between reporting methods and his hopes for his own legacy.

When it comes to the disclosure of non-financial information, it’s understandable that many businesses come begrudgingly to table. But when sustainability reporting is focused on a few, truly relevant issues, it creates vital data that can help companies contribute to sustainable development and be more profitable in the process.

At this year's United Nations high-level political forum, 43 countries presented their voluntary national reviews on the progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. GRI took this opportunity to investigate how the private sector in particular has been included in these reviews. Here we present a quick overview of three emerging trends on the private sector role in the 2030 Agenda.
