GRI Certified Sustainability Reporting Training Returns to the Rockies!

The two-day course covers the GRI's G3.1 Sustainability Reporting Framework. Registration includes GRI Certified course content, 40-page GRI reporting guidebook, guest presentations, meals, and a certificate directly from GRI.
 
April 2, 2012 - PRLog -- After conducting a successful Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Certified Sustainability Reporting Course in Denver last summer, ISOS Group (a certified GRI Training Partner in the U.S.) and Concept Green (a collaborating partner to ISOS Group) are headed back to expand knowledge in this growing area of sustainability: only this time, the event will be held in Boulder.
The two-day certified training course walks new and experienced sustainability practitioners through the GRI reporting process and the key pillars of the GRI Reporting Framework: stakeholder engagement, the materiality assessment process (deciding what to talk about) and principles for ensuring credibility, transparency and balance in triple bottom line reporting. Lessons throughout the course are aimed at equipping participants with the know-how to manage the reporting process. It is not necessary to have worked on a report previously; however, basic knowledge of GRI and sustainability practices is encouraged.
Last year’s course held at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science was highly attended. Locals from the Colorado Governor’s Energy Office, University of Denver, Waste Management, The Cadmus Group, Inc., Renewable Choice Energy and the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado worked alongside others who flew into Colorado from organizations such as the Brady Corporation, B Lab and Gaiam, just to name a few. Participants were instructed on the reporting process and supporting tools established by the Global Reporting Initiative, benefitted from guest presentations and full assessments of sustainability reports issued by some of the nation’s largest companies using GRI’s Principles for Content and Quality.
This year’s event scheduled for May 24 and 25 at Naropa University will be sponsored by CORE, a local sustainable business association, and the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado. A guest presentation from Lara Hussain, director of sustainability and stakeholder relations at Texas Instruments, will highlight advances made in the area of integrated reporting, a new approach to corporate reporting that demonstrates the linkages between an organization’s strategy, governance and financial performance and the social, environmental and economic context within which it operates.
Those interested in attending can take advantage of special ‘early bird’ rates before May 9th by registering at: http://isosgroup.com/gri-certified-reporting/trainings/bo...   Questions can be directed to info@isosgroup.com. Seating is limited.
