Certified GRI Standards training

Training description

This training focuses on the sustainability reporting process, materiality assessment, understanding stakeholder expectation and measuring the results. The training is largely about developing participants’ competence and ability to run complex projects such as producing a sustainability report or develop skills and competencies to analyse ESG-data from sustainability reports. The training includes interactive exercises, sharing best practices and discussions based on participants’ prerequisites and challenges. The training takes two days and by completing it you will get a certificate issued by GRI.

Who is the training for

This training is aimed at those who work with corporate reporting, sustainability disclosures, data assurance and sustainability management and communications, and who want to learn more about sustainability reporting, regardless of sector or industry or prepare implementation of the forthcoming EU corporate sustainability reporting standards. No previous knowledge on sustainability reporting is needed, but it’s good to have some understanding of how companies and organisations work with sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities.

Objectives of the training

The goal of this training is to develop the participants’ ability to lead or be involved in the sustainability reporting process, to provide a good overall understanding of what is required for reporting in accordance with GRI Standards, and how sustainability reporting can be used to develop the organisation’s work with sustainability.
