Apparently not. On a command line, type: date '+%G'
Looks perfectly correct to me - from man strftime
%G is replaced by a year as a decimal number with century. This year is the one that contains the greater part of the week (Monday as the first day of the week).
Maybe you want %Y?
%Y is replaced by the year with century as a decimal number.
