This high-impact 3-hour workshop is designed to help you take the first steps to kick-start your sustainability efforts.
This is a practical implementation sprint focused on completing five essential GRI disclosures and establishing a defensible starting point for materiality under the GRI Standards. The workshop provides structured insight into the role and benefits of value-chain-based materiality, illustrating how it can generate decision-useful information for creating value, managing risk, and demonstrating accountability to stakeholders and the planet.
Detailed application and full implementation of value-chain or double materiality are intentionally out of scope and are addressed in a dedicated, in-depth course.
