The APEX Green Meeting and Events Voluntary Standards: Published in collaboration with the USEPA, Green Meeting Industry Council and the Convention Industry Council. GRI: The Global Reporting initiative. A formal standard is based on the consensus of industry stakeholder opinion, meeting the requirements of an independent standards organization.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international NGO and collaborating centre of the United Nations Environment Program that over the last 10 years has developed the world’s most widely used framework for sustainability reporting. The GRI G3 Sustainability Reporting Framework provides guidance and key performance indicators that create the conditions for the transparent and reliable reporting of sustainability information. Currently the GRI is creating a supplement for the events industry due for release in 2012. This project will result in a standardized framework for sectoral sustainability reporting, ensuring that sustainability reports by events organizers effectively cover the key issues for the sector and are comparable. This sector specific reporting guidance, integrated into the G3 Guidelines, is to be used in addition to rather than in place of the Guidelines. The guidelines are used today for leading events such as COP15, the Olympics and the Europe World Cup.
