GRI Index
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) index – a standardized framework for reporting environmental, social and governance performance – is used as a measure of companies worldwide. At Target, we recognize the GRI index as one of the most credible and widely used reporting standards, and believe it helps bring focus to our continued and evolving work as a responsible corporate citizen. Below, we’ve presented the indicators most relevant to our business. We are committed to reporting our ongoing progress on additional sections of the GRI index as this information becomes available, and invite you to visit this section of Here for Good periodically for updated content.
