GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a network-based organization that pioneered the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework
GRI’s core goals include the mainstreaming of disclosure on environmental, social and governance performance
The Reporting Framework sets out the principles and Performance Indicators that organizations can use to measure and report their economic, environmental, and social performance
Sustainability reports based on the GRI Framework can be used to demonstrate organizational commitment to sustainable development, to compare organizational performance over time, and to measure organizational performance with respect to laws, norms, standards and voluntary initiatives.

Polymers
Explosives
The chemical industry converts raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals) into more than 70,000 different products
Chemical Industry is by far considered the most polluting one
As a major energy user as well as enabler of energy and emissions-saving solutions the chemical industry has a significant role in mitigating climate change.
The chemicals industry is a significant user of coal, petroleum products and natural gas, both as a source of energy and as feedstocks for many of its products.
Chemical industry’s products, processes and research capabilities contribute to conserving energy, delivering energy more efficiently, developing renewable resources and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Significant improvements achieved in energy efficiency over the past decades - production increased by more than 50% since 1990 & GHG emissions have fallen by more than 20%, mainly by switching from coal to gas powered facilities and in investing in combined heat and power (CHP) plants
