Mapping G4 to the GRI Standards

TERMS OF USE

About this tool


This tool provides an overview of the changes between the GRI G4 Guidelines and the GRI
Standards.

The GRI Standards are designed to be used by organizations to report about their impacts on the
economy, the environment, and society. They are based on the key concepts and disclosures from
the G4 Guidelines, but are structured as a set of interrelated, modular standards. The full set of
Standards can be downloaded at www.globalreporting.org/standards/

This tool has been designed for G4 reporters who now wish to transition to the GRI Standards. If
you are a new reporter, please visit the GRI website to learn about other available resources.

The tool is divided into four sections, or tabs:


1. Disclosures Quick Reference: A quick overview of changes to the G4 Disclosures
2. Disclosures Full Overview: A detailed overview of changes to the G4 Disclosures
3. Disclosures Track Changes: A markup version of changes to the G4 Disclosures
4. All Content Quick Reference: An overview of where all G4 content can be found in the GRI
Standards

More resources
On the GRI website you will find additional supporting materials, and background information
about the GRI Standards development process, and the project to review 'employee'/'worker'
terminology.

Content disclaimer
The use of this tool does not provide validation or assurance of any kind that a report has been
prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards, either Core or Comprehensive option. The criteria
to claim that a report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards can be found in
Section 3 of GRI 101: Foundation.

The GRI Standards contain the authoritative text. In case of any discrepancies between the
content of this tool and the GRI Standards, the text of the GRI Standards shall prevail.

Legal liability
While the GRI Board of Directors and the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) encourage
use of the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) and related Interpretations by
all organizations, the preparation and publication of reports based fully or partially on the GRI
Standards and related Interpretations are the full responsibility of those producing them. Neither
the GRI Board of Directors, GSSB nor Stichting Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) can assume
responsibility for any consequences or damages resulting directly or indirectly from the use of the
GRI Standards and related Interpretations in the preparation of reports, or the use of reports
based on the GRI Standards and related Interpretations.

See key above

Revised disclosure The detailed requirements to present the statement from the most senior
decision-maker have been made reporting recommendations (see clause
2.1). This makes the disclosure less prescriptive and more consistent with
other disclosures in the GRI Standards.

Revised disclosure The detailed requirements to describe the key impacts, risks and
opportunities have been made reporting recommendations (see clause
2.2). This makes the disclosure less prescriptive and more consistent with
other disclosures in the GRI Standards. In addition, the requirement to
provide two 'concise' narrative sections and the distinction between
section One and section Two have been removed.

No revision NA
Revised disclosure The following key changes have been made:
- A new requirement has been added: 'A description of the organization's
activities' (see 102-2-a). This new requirement has been added in order to
align with content updates in G4-10 (now Disclosure 102-8) related to a
review of 'employee'/'worker' terminology.
- A new requirement has been added: '...an explanation of any products or
services that are banned in certain markets' (see 102-2-b). This
requirement is based on the content from Indicator G4-PR6, which has
been combined with G4-4.

No revision NA

Revised disclosure G4-10 has been revised for 'employee'/'worker' terminology. The following
key changes have been made:
- The following requirement has been deleted: 'Report the total number of
permanent employees by employment type and gender' (former G4-10-b).
- The following requirement has been deleted: 'Report the total workforce
by employees and supervised workers and by gender' (former G4-10-c).
- The following requirement has been deleted: 'Report the total workforce
by region and gender' (former G4-10-d).
- G4-10-e has been revised as follows: 'Whether a significant portion of the
organization’s activities are performed by workers who are not employees.
If applicable, a description of the nature and scale of work performed by
workers who are not employees' (see 102-8-d).
- A new requirement has been added: 'Total number of employees by
employment contract (permanent and temporary), by region' (see 102-8-
b).
- A new requirement has been added: 'Total number of employees by
employment type (full-time and part-time), by gender' (see 102-8-c).
- A new requirement has been added: 'An explanation of how the data
have been compiled, including any assumptions made' (see 102-8-f).

No revision Change in location: G4-11 has been moved to the Stakeholder engagement
section of GRI 102: General Disclosures. New guidance has been added to
clarify the purpose of this disclosure (see 'Guidance for Disclosure 102-41').

Revised disclosure G4-12 has been expanded to be more specific on the reporting
expectations. Now reporting organizations are also required to report the
main elements of the supply chain, as they relate to the organization’s
activities, primary brands, products, and services.

No revision NA

No revision NA

Revised disclosure G4-16 now requires reporting only the main memberships. The individual
criteria for listing memberships (e.g., holds a position on the governance
body, participates in projects or committees) have been made reporting
recommendations (see clause 1.5).
No revision NA

No revision Note: The Guidance to G4-18, which describes the steps that an
organization may go through in order to define the specific content of the
report, will be presented as a separate guidance document (to be made
available on the GRI website in early 2017).

Revised disclosure The term 'Aspects' has been changed to 'topics'. This is consistent with
changes in GRI 101: Foundation (clauses 1.3 and 2.5), where it has been
clarified that organizations are required to report on all their material
topics. This can include material topics which can be linked to the topics
covered in the topic-specific GRI Standards (series 200, 300 and 400), as
well as topics that are not covered by the topic-specific Standards.

Revised disclosure Change in location: G4-20 and G4-21 have been merged and combined
with G4-DMA-a (they are now Disclosure 103-1-b and 103-1-c).
In addition, the topic Boundary disclosure (103-1-b) has been revised to
clarify its purpose. It now requests, for each material topic, a description
of:
- 'where the impacts occur'
- 'the organization’s involvement with the impacts. For example, whether
the organization has caused or contributed to the impacts, or is directly
linked to the impacts through its business relationships.'
It also includes new guidance and examples (see 'Guidance for Disclosure
103-1-b' and 'Guidance for Disclosure 103-1-c').

Revised disclosure G4-32 has been divided into three separate disclosures to improve logic
and clarity. G4-32-a is now Disclosure 102-54 and relates to the claim that
an organization is required to make if it has prepared a report in

each option, there is a corresponding claim, or statement of use, that the
organization is required to include in the report. These claims have set
wording.
Revised disclosure G4-32 has been divided into three separate disclosures to improve logic
and clarity. G4-32-b is now Disclosure 102-55 and relates to the content

to the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, published in January 2015 by the
World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development (WBCSD). This now requires reporting two
distinct Scope 2 values: a location-based and a market-based value. These
are calculated with different emission factors according to how the energy

work, or workplace, is controlled by the organization'. This change was due
to the 'employee'/'worker' terminology review.

Revised disclosure The following key changes have been made:
