Wed & Thurs 29 & 30 May 2019 Melbourne - BOOK HERE

ACTION AND CHANGE

In our 2-day (GRI) Certified Training Course on Sustainability Reporting you will learn how to conduct clear and focused attention to materiality and stakeholder engagement to minimise your organisation’s environmental, economic and social impacts. By applying the most adopted approach to sustainability reporting (SR), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) analysis, you will develop competencies, skills and knowledge on how organisations can take actions and make change.

GRI CERTIFIED TRAINING ON SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

This course is provided by GeoTrends Sustainability, a GRI Certified Training Partner with training materials certified by GRI under the GRI Certified Training Program. The course explains how companies/organisations obtain value through GRI Standards based Sustainability Reporting because it is a proactive, structured, and methodical approach to disclosures about organisational performance, particularly non-financial disclosures. Companies which cannot identify material issues, choose to ignore them, or fail to disclose them, may damage their reputation and brand loyalty and increase the risk of further regulation.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In this course, you will learn that the GRI Standards:

• provide detailed requirements and guidance to identify priorities and disclosures, and to take actions and minimise impacts
• is a framework which guides you every step of the way to identify and implement decisions that matter
• can be used to implement a sustainability performance plan, do comparative analysis, improve corporate accountability and responsibility, and address the UN Sustainable Development Goals now adopted by many companies worldwide.

IMPORTANTLY, YOU WILL ALSO LEARN HOW…

• to conduct stakeholder engagement
• to identify the most important impacts to address (materiality)
• to prepare an informative yet lean report (but not box ticking)
• to communicate your report to your stakeholders
• to benchmark performance against companies in your sector
• to develop a clear plan of action and proceed ASAP with your report
• to work with the supply chain to minimise their impacts, and
• why a sustainability report is a strategic issue for your organisation

HOW YOUR COMPANY/ORGANISATION BENEFITS…

GRI is focused on taking actions on what matters where it matters. Companies identify their own impacts on the environment, society and stakeholders. They then measure, set targets, and take actions to minimize the negative impacts, increase positive impacts, and to report the outcomes in their sustainability report.
