NEW YORK, USA. Global Reporting Initiative Training Course

LEAD, in association with Jantzi-Sustainalytics, is offering two-day courses in sustainability reporting in cities across the US and Canada.

The training is certified under the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) – the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. Course participants will gain practical skills to effectively communicate any organization’s sustainability efforts, in accordance with international standards.

Sustainability reporting has become integral to stakeholder communications, and therefore is increasingly adopted in the business, public and non-profit sectors. For a growing number of managers, professionals and consultants, sustainability reporting has become a core skill.

The course is sponsored by Deloitte in the US and Pricewaterhouse Coopers in Canada, and is endorsed by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE). Based on feedback from past course participants, 97 per cent said they would recommend the course to others.

LEAD (www.leadcanada.net) is the first and most experienced GRI-certified training provider in North America, and Jantzi-Sustainalytics (www.jantzisustainalytics.com), is the foremost expert in analyzing corporate sustainability reporting and performance.
