The accredited course content will be delivered through lectures, discussions, exercises, and case studies. ACSRN professional trainers will lead the extensive and free-flowing discussions on the new GRI Standards to help participants begin their reporting process using the latest criteria. A certificate will be issued to the attendees upon successful course completion from the Headquarters of GRI in Amsterdam.

Participating in the training course is a major step for institutions, ensuring that their non-financial performance or sustainability reports are aligned with the standards recognised by the international community. As such, it gives their reports a higher degree of credibility and integrity.”
