General use of GRI logos and trademarks

The GRI logo cannot be used by third parties without prior written permission from GRI. If permission is granted it is subject to the following conditions: • GRI is not an auditor, assessor, certifier, or verifier of sustainability reports. Therefore, the corporate logo cannot be used to indicate a ‘stamp of approval’ of a sustainability report, or products and services associated with reporting. • GRI does not endorse any particular company that offers consulting, training, software, assurance or similar services, the logo should not be used in a manner that indicates an alignment or ‘stamp of approval’ for a company’s services or expertise in relation to GRI sustainability reporting products. • GRI reserves the right to take appropriate action when the logo is used without its permission or if it is adapted, modified or otherwise used inappropriately.

Use of the GRI logo in printed sustainability reports

The GRI logo cannot be used inside a printed or online sustainability (or similar) report. This is because GRI does not in anyway endorse, certify, assure, or approve reports. Reporting organizations can choose to display the Organizational Stakeholder logo (see below) and/or the Application Level logo(s) (see below) in these instances, and subject to the logo policies for those images.

Linking to the GRI website and using the logo online

Third parties can use the GRI logo online, and link to the GRI webpage. Use of the logo online must contain all of the following elements: • A logo (contact us to request a .jpg) • A comment putting the link in context • A hyperlink itself leading viewers to GRI’s website (www.globalreporting.org) or sub-sites as defined in a permission agreement directly with us.

Note that the logo may not be used without a corresponding link to GRI’s website, but that links may be used without an accompanying logo.

Logo sharing is permitted in situations where GRI is approached by an external party for permission to link their website to ours, and the link is presented in the context of a list of resources for sustainability, more information about sustainability reporting, or other similar reference situations. Logo sharing will also be permitted in cases where the external party has reproduced GRI material on their site and uses it for the purposes of providing proper attribution.

The GRI web logo may also be used online in the context of illustrating a GRI Content Index, as long as it follows the same conditions as outlined above, namely, the inclusion of a link and a corresponding contextual explanation.

Like the print logo policy, web logo sharing is not permitted in situations where an organisation tries to show closer ties to GRI that do not exist, endorsement of products or services, or where a GRI reporter affixes the GRI logo to their sustainability report or web pages (with the exception of the Content Index).

Where permission is granted, these terms and conditions apply:

GRI is not an auditor, assessor, certifier, or verifier of sustainability reports. Therefore, the logo cannot be used to indicate a ‘stamp of approval’ of a sustainability report.
GRI does not endorse any particular company that offers consulting, training, software, assurance or similar services, the logo should not be used in a manner that indicates an alignment or ‘stamp of approval’ for a company’s services or expertise in relation to GRI sustainability reporting products.
GRI reserves the right to take appropriate action when the logo is used without its permission or if it is adapted, modified or otherwise used inappropriately.

Inquiries as to proper usage of the GRI logo should be directed to info@globalreporting.org
