GRI Index

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a framework of internationally accepted guidelines and principles for companies and organizations to report on corporate responsibility and sustainability performance. Our 2008/2009 Sustainability Review contains our most recent GRI index, based on the GRI G3 guidelines. The Coca-Cola Company will publish our first full GRI G3 Report later this year. For more information about GRI, go to www.globalreporting.org.
