Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Sustainability reporting, also called triple-bottom-line business accountability, is the practice of expanding traditional business reporting to take into account environmental and social performance in addition to financial results. For many organizations, financial reporting alone no longer satisfies the needs of shareholders, customers, communities, and other stakeholders who require or desire information about overall organizational performance. Organizations choose sustainability reporting because it enhances and strengthens a company?s brand and reputation, provides differentiation in the marketplace and establishes a foundation for open, positive communications between a company and its stakeholders. Perhaps more important, when done as a dynamic, interdependent discipline, sustainability reporting reinforces the line between short-term financial goals with longer term environmental and social objectives, resulting in a situation where all three can co-exist and benefit a global society.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 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 from this course to the outside world. This will allow the delegates to prepare a comprehensive and factual sustainability report.
