𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐆𝐑𝐈 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬!🌍 The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has announced a comprehensive review of its labor-related standards to enhance transparency on workplace labor and human rights. This initiative aims to enable companies to report more effectively on their impacts on workers. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 • New Review Launch: GRI has started a consultation on redrafted versions of three standards: "GRI 402: Labor/Management Relations," "GRI 401: Employment," and "GRI 202: Market Presence." • Employment: Non-standard forms of employment, personal data protection, privacy, and hiring/turnover metrics. • Remuneration and Working Time: Cost-of-living estimates, gender pay gap, and social protection coverage. • Significant Changes for Workers: Consultation and notice periods, redeployment, up-skilling, re-skilling, and termination of employment. • Expert Guidance: The revision process involves an expert group with representation from the International Trade Union Confederation, Global Unions Federations, International Organization of Employers, and the ILO. • Alignment with Global Standards: The updates will align with key intergovernmental instruments from the ILO, UN, and OECD. • Future Consultations: Two more consultations will cover working life and career development, and workers’ rights and protections, with updates to 11 standards in total. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐒𝐆 • Social Responsibility: Labor practices are a key component of the 'Social' aspect in ESG. Improved standards ensure companies treat workers fairly, which is crucial for corporate social responsibility. • Transparency and Accountability: Enhanced disclosures provide clearer communication to stakeholders, including investors, about how companies manage labor and human rights issues. • Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Better information and disclosure help achieve SDG 8, promoting decent work and economic growth, and support better decision-making for sustainable business practices. 💬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: How do you think the revised GRI labor standards will influence global corporate practices and the ESG landscape? #GRI #Sustainability #LaborStandards #ESG #CorporateResponsibility #Transparency #HumanRights #WorkplaceEthics #GlobalStandards #SustainabilityReporting https://lnkd.in/dR7b9Tr5 Disclaimer: The Content in this post is for informational purposes only derived from references and does not constitute any professional advice.
