Description The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has introduced standardized language and metrics across the globe for sustainability reporting. GRI reports are published for review and transparent reporting.

The Department of Ecology encourages businesses across the state to lead the way in sustainable operations. Ecology is mandated to ask businesses to prepare pollution prevention plans, set goals, measure their successes, and report their progress regularly.

There is a strong sense in Washington State, “to walk our talk” and do what we ask others to do. By transparently modeling sustainable behavior, we can help other organizations learn from our experiences. GRI is a tool that can be used by any organization in Washington. We hope that you find this, our second report, informative.

There is a link below to our first GRI report, in case you missed it.
