Participate in EFRAG’s Public Consultation on GRI Pollution Standards to Strengthen Global Interoperability

Complete EFRAG’s public consultation survey to help shape a European response to GRI’s Pollution Exposure Drafts and to advance interoperability with the ESRS, reducing complexity while strengthening global alignment.

GRI issued Exposure Drafts for three new Pollution Topic Standards covering Air Pollution, Soil Pollution and Critical Incidents. In response, EFRAG will submit a Comment Letter to GRI setting out the European perspective on these proposals.

To inform its position, EFRAG is launching a 30-day public consultation from 21 April to 21 May 2026 on its Draft Comment Letter, inviting stakeholders to provide input through a structured and inclusive process.

The objective of these engagement opportunities is to gather stakeholder feedback, with a particular focus on enhancing interoperability between GRI Standards and ESRS, contributing to more efficient and consistent sustainability reporting for preparers.

Who should participate:

  • Companies subject to, or preparing ESRS reporting
  • Stakeholders with expertise in pollution-related disclosures
  • Other interested organisations and professionals

Next steps

Feedback from the public consultation and workshops will be analysed by the end of May 2026 and integrated into a revised Comment Letter to be shared with GRI in June 2026.

Note on the public consultation survey: by default, submissions will be made public, although contributors may request confidentiality.
