Global Reporting Initiative

PG&E is committed to continuous improvement when it comes to how we report our impacts and sustainable business strategies. The table below shows how this report aligns with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Performance Indicators, including the Electric Utility Sector Supplement, which we use as an important guide and reference point. While we are working toward meeting the GRI reporting protocols, for several indicators below, we currently only partially meet the recommended standard.
