With carbon auditing coming of age, the reporting on Sustainable Business practices is an issue that most companies know about, but many are not sure how to proceed with this practice. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is the most prevalent International standard that recognizes Economic, Environmental, and Social considerations for sustainable business reporting. In this session we’ll explore the GRI sustainable reporting methodology, and why this value proposition works. Briefly covered will be information about:
The Competative Advantage, Corporate Governance, Brand Building with External Assurance, Resource Use, Society Performance, and Product Responsibility.

The public forum is particularly suited for:
Environmental managers, Corporate Communications, Marketing and Investor Relations practitioners, Financial reporters, who want to report on non financial performance, Local Government and Public Sector Personnel who want to report on Economic, Environmental and Social performance, Suppliers of Products and Services to Organizations that expect their supply base to demonstrate a culture of Corporate Social Responsibility, Company Directors and Board members who want to improve their organization’s governance by adopting a framework for Economic, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting, and the sustainably curious.
