GRI Index

Our sustainability reporting is based on the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

The GRI Guidelines are an internationally recognized voluntary standard in sustainability reporting for companies that wish to create transparency regarding the financial, ecological and social aspects of their activities, products and services. Credit Suisse had its GRI Index reviewed and assessed for the first time for its 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report.
