How Can GRI & ESRS Training Transform Your ESG Reporting?

Insights from CSE Research 2025

As sustainability reporting continues to evolve, the most profitable companies are setting the pace. Based on our CSE Research 2025, over 56% of ESG practices among the most profitable FT 500 companies are built around GRI standards. This compelling statistic underscores the critical role that GRI guidelines play in shaping transparent, effective, and globally recognized sustainability reporting. At CSE, we’re proud to offer a dynamic training program designed to empower professionals with the skills needed to master these essential standards.
