There are different types of sustainability reports, with some distinctions between those that are internationally recognized and others that are more specific or simplified.
Internationally recognized sustainability reports
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): GRI is a widely recognized international framework for sustainability reporting.
GRI provides detailed guidelines on what to include in sustainability reports.
Reports prepared according to the latest GRI standard are structured according to standard disclosures that allow for uniformity and comparability across reports.
Local or specific sustainability reports

The choice of report type depends on a company’s needs and resources, as well as its willingness to comply with international standards or local specifications.
