Does GRA approve disclosures?

No. GRA does not approve disclosures. 

GRA does not approve financial disclosures, securities disclosures, climate disclosures, sustainability reports, ESG reports, impact reports, risk disclosures, insurance disclosures, regulatory filings, public authority disclosures, investor presentations, offering documents, prospectuses, annual reports, management discussion, public statements, press releases, or procurement submissions. 

GRA may provide general claims-discipline guidance and help participants understand why certain claims are unsafe. It may identify that a statement could be misread as investment advice, insurance approval, public backing, certification, rating, procurement approval, or regulatory comfort. That does not mean GRA approves the disclosure. 

Disclosure approval belongs to the issuing organization, its legal counsel, compliance teams, auditors, regulators where applicable, boards, officers, and responsible signatories. 

Participants should not say that disclosure language has been “approved by GRA” unless a specific narrow public-language review has been formally issued for GRA-status accuracy only. Even then, the review would not approve the disclosure as legally sufficient. 

GRA protects its own status language. It does not approve disclosures.
