Diverse range of organisations show their support for GRI
Oxfam International recently demonstrated its support for GRI’s mission by registering as an Organisational Stakeholder (OS). Over the last month GRI has also gained the support of Nike and Shell International. GRI expresses its thanks to Shell for voluntarily increasing its fee for this year when it registered in December. Acting as a counterweight to these global giants, Bangladesh’s Chemist Laboratories also registered this month. The OS program is designed to help all organisations, whether large or small, non-profit or corporate, support GRI’s mission in a tangible way. OS are an official part of GRI’s governance structure and can vote for Stakeholder Council members, and receive discounts on GRI products, services and events in return for their support and a low annual fee.
