Learning Objectives

This course will enable you to prepare either a GRI Standards Core option report, or a GRI Standards Comprehensive option report.  ZOOiD and all  training materials are certified by the Global Reporting Initiative.

By the end of the course, participants should feel very confident in how to prepare a best practice Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) sustainability report using the GRI Standards. Most importantly, participants will begin to understand the GRI report writer’s adage “It’s not about the report, it’s about the process!”

Take outs of the course include how to:

• Understand, interpret and implement the GRI Standards
• Apply the GRI Reporting Principles (Defining report content and Defining report quality
• Identify, prioritise and communicate with your stakeholders
• Identify material topics and determine where they occur (internal and/or external boundaries)
• Linkages with other sustainability reporting frameworks
• Streamline reporting processes throughout your organisation
• Communicate your report in innovative ways
• Prepare you for future reporting cycles through continuous improvement principles.

Who should attend?

Individuals who are new to the Global Reporting Initiative sustainability reporting process, or reporters who may not have attended the course, and need some extra tools and focus to help them along. It can also be of benefit to have more than one person from the same organisation attend the workshop, as sustainability reporting is multi-disciplinary in nature, and it helps to have more than one person with GRI knowledge as support. Our participants come from a broad spectrum of sustainability focused areas of the organisation, including company secretary, HSE, corporate planning, project management, corporate social responsibility, health & wellbeing planning/policy, sustainability, communications, education and marketing, business analysts, community relations, business improvement, HR and more.
