This training will introduce participants to BSR’s thinking on sustainability reporting, current trends, and how companies can create reporting strategies as part of a broader accountability mechanism to drive value creation.
In group discussions and exercises, presenters will walk participants through the development of a comprehensive sustainability reporting strategy, using BSR’s approach and insights. Along the way, we will look at best-practice case studies from leading companies, introduce our thinking on how the various reporting standards overlap, and discuss how companies can use reporting as a tool to deliver positive sustainability outcomes and impacts.
Participants will leave the training with a stronger understanding of current trends in reporting and how to develop a coherent reporting strategy.
The training will take place from 1-4 p.m., with a networking lunch for participants from 12:15-1 p.m
