SAN DIEGO - Jan. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- The ISOS Center for Social Responsibility (ISOS CSR), the training arm of ISOS Group, will host the ISOS CSR Institute Wednesday-Friday, January 21- 23, 2015 at the ISOS headquarters in downtown San Diego, California.

The ISOS Institute is a three-day training, knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer community building intensive that delivers a packed, one-stop program of education and instruction, certification, and intelligence sharing. It is designed to equip participants with the latest knowledge they require for leading their organizations through the rapidly evolving universe of sustainability reporting standards and corporate responsibility (CR) practices.

In addition to the knowledge content and training, Institute participants will earn certification in the key areas of GRI, CDP and Materiality disclosure requirements. They will hear about the latest communications techniques, technology-based tools, and industry developments from guest experts.

The schedule is flexible to accommodate travel and business commitments. Participants may register for one or two days, or enroll in the entire three-day program at a team discount: Day One and Two will focus on certified training in the new GRI G4 framework; Day Three will offer a deep dive into powerful materiality assessments using The Natural Step as well as certified training in CDP (formally known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) disclosure techniques.

Featured instructors include Nancy Mancilla, ISOS co-founder; Jennifer Roney, Ph.D., founder of Reframe Management Consulting and faculty member of Bainbridge Graduate Institute; Jeff Leinaweaver, Ph.D., principal of Global Zen Sustainability and a trainer in The Natural Step; and Stephen Donofrio, founder of Greenpoint Innovations LLC and former vice president of CDP North America.

Executives from three organizations that have demonstrated leadership in the implementation of CR practice for strategic value creation will offer their insights on the latest approaches. Topics include “Design for Strategic Communications” with thinkParallax; “Tools for Optimizing Your Reporting Efforts” featuring Measurabl; and “Crafting Disclosure for Maximum Recognition” from Sempra Energy.

Stephen Donofrio, former vice president of CDP North America and an ISOS CDP trainer, stresses that “it is important for corporate responsibility and sustainability professionals to have regular check-ins with CDP and its partners such as ISOS. The questionnaire and scoring methodology change on an annual basis. It’s not a static program or process but very evolutionary. We want to help Institute participants understand how CDP relates to their job functions, how to make the information digestible, and how to apply it to every day scenarios and business contexts.”

Jeff Leinaweaver, Ph.D., trainer for The Natural Step, adds that Institute participants “will walk away with more tools that they can apply in a variety of situations… engaging their minds and hearts in expansive ways.”

Registration is now open. Please visit www.isoscsr.org. Participation is limited. You may also contact ISOS directly at 619.246.1122 or info@ISOSgroup.com.
