2002 Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines

GM's Corporate Responsibility reporting has followed the 2002 Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines (GRI) since their inception. This fulfills the commitment to transparency and accountability – a commitment that is increasingly important for global companies with multiple stakeholders. The report is published online at gmresponsibility.com, with PDF files available to download and print on demand.

In the 2005/06 report, GM describes its progress in the traditional GRI focus areas of product, economic, social and environmental performance. These issues are carefully managed according to GM's vision and strategy and are guided by its widely renowned internal governance process.  GM presents these achievements within the context of key issues that impact our business.

This report covers the year 2005 and 2006 through midyear.  The data are primarily calendar year 2005 information.  Our Corporate Responsibility Report was prepared internally by a team of GM employees and reviewed and endorsed by an Editorial Review Board comprised of GM Leaders and subject matter experts.  Our previous Corporate Responsibility Report covered calendar year 2004 and part of 2005.

The full report is available on www.gmresponsibility.com.  We continue to fully integrate the report with www.gmability.com, the company’s Corporate Responsibility web site.
