GRI Sustainability Reporting Courses Offered in San Diego!

July 11, 2009 - PRLog -- ISOS Group, LLC and Alliant International University’s Marshall Goldsmith School of Management (MGSM) in San Diego, California have partnered to conduct a Sustainability Reporting Course based on the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) standard methodology− the most widely recognized in the world today! The course is aimed at providing participants with the tools needed to fully assess the sustainability of various activities and to reduce the negative impacts of day-to-day operations.

Successful businesses of the future depend on a new type of professional prepared to accelerate economic growth while minimizing social and environmental risks. Therefore, this two-day course is designed to encourage participation among a diverse group of professionals looking to enhance their skills sets, such as for-profit and non-profit managers in charge of sustainability activities. The tools presented to participants can even benefit graduate students interested in developing their capacity to apply other sustainability-driven components learned in the classroom to the outside world.

The two-day event will be held on September 26th and 27th at Alliant International University’s San Diego campus in Scripps Ranch.  Registration includes instruction, GRI certification upon completion, meals, refreshments, learning materials, GRI publication entitled “The GRI sustainability reporting cycle: A handbook for small and not-so-small organizations”, and a bonus short-course on The Basics of Sustainability Accounting led by renowned sustainability pioneer, David A. Bainbridge.
