GRI opens consultation on labour-related standards amid growing worker poverty
The number of workers living in poverty increased by almost 10 million last year.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is seeking feedback on several of its labour-related standards with a view to update them in line with recent worker and human rights guidance.
The first public comment period is open until October 4, 2024 around the new drafts of three specific standards: GRI 402 on labour/management relations, GRI 401 on employment and GRI 202 on market presence. Companies can register to attend free global webinars on the project on 20 June and 25 June.
