Do you need to take sustainability action and formulate your business strategy?
This GRI, IEMA, and CPD Certified course delivers no-nonsense ESG/ sustainability and the ability to take action ASAP.
To begin taking sustainability action (measuring, managing, and changing), you first need to clearly identify your significant impacts (environment, economy, people and their human rights) throughout your value chain. In this effort you will learn how to employ the well recognised GRI 4-step materiality methodology (aligned with ESRS, OECD, UNGPs).
Once you complete the identification process, it is time to take action to reduce your negative impacts and formulate your sustainability strategy. This gives you the ability to achieve a balance between creating and delivering value to the business while also delivering value to stakeholders and the planet.
This GRI, IEMA & CPD course is geared towards busy professionals who want to understand how to proceed and create a first-class GRI Standards Sustainability Report, address the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and have a plan for immediate sustainability action without wasting time.
Every FBRH course comes with an easy-to-understand, step-by-step plan of action to help you hit the ground running.
