Client Alert: GRI & CDP Release Updated Climate Reporting Mapping

/

GRI and CDP have released updated mapping to help organizations align climate-related disclosures under GRI 102: Climate Change (2025) and GRI 103: Energy (2025) with CDP’s 2026 corporate questionnaire.

The updated mapping identifies where disclosures correspond across both frameworks, enabling companies to leverage the same underlying data and streamline reporting processes. It also expands coverage of climate actions and land-related emissions, with clearer guidance on areas of full and partial alignment.

Why this matters for your organization

  • Reduced reporting burden: Supports a “report once, use many times” approach across GRI and CDP

  • Improved consistency: Enhances comparability and quality of climate and energy disclosures

  • Efficiency gains: Minimizes duplication and simplifies data collection and reporting workflows

  • Future readiness: Helps organizations prepare for CDP 2026 reporting and evolving disclosure expectations

While the updated GRI Standards will formally take effect in 2027, many organizations are beginning alignment efforts in 2026 to prepare. The strengthened structure supports more consistent reporting and positions of companies for assurance readiness.
