GRI Standards for the Denim Industry

GRI connected me to the global knowledge and information on ESG and SDGs. I live in Japan, Hong Kong and China, and have been working in the toxic Denim industry for 35+ years. Seeing some changes in the denim industry, but still not moving fast enough, especially in the Scope 3 transformation and reporting. Hoping I would be able to bring the GRI standards to the denim industry, and be one of the game changers in the denim industry.

The course 'GRI-TNFD Interoperability: A Guide for Nature-Related Reporting' gave me a comprehensive understanding of GRI-TNFD interoperability.

The course,"GRI-TNFD Interoperability:A Guide for Nature-Related Reporting" offers deep insights into the similarities and diffeneces between GRI 101 Biodivesity 2024 and the TNFD Recommendations. It serves as an excellent educational guide for reporters assesing nature- and biodiversity- related impacts. The course also provides a solid foundation for understanding Dependencies,Risks, and Opportunities based on both impact materiality and financial materiality ,as well as the flexible approach of TNFD. This course helps GRI reporters to gain a comprehensive understanding of TNFD, and, conversely,supports TNFD users in acquiring knowledge about GRI 101 Biodiversity 2024 and the overall GRI Standards.

Interactive elements and new module

I really like the interactive elements especially in the Sector Standard modules, as well as the deep dive into selected topics in the Sector Standards. I hope GRI can provide a new module related to the new Energy and Climate Change standard soon.
