Sustainability reporting has become an integral component of stakeholder communications, and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is the world's most widely used framework.

SynTao presents a GRI-certified course on sustainability reporting in which participants will gain an understanding of the GRI framework in a Chinese context.

Community Investment and Impact Measurement Training by CSR Asia (1 day)
 
Community Investment is an essential part of CSR. This course will provide participants with the skills to develop a CSR system founded on engagement with the community (the basis of good CSR). The key issue discussed will be how to measure your CSR impact; i.e., are resources being utilized in ways to provide the best possible benefits to the communities in which your company is engaged? Being able to measure impact and collect data allows companies to:
 
i) Manage costs and ensure high impact for communities
ii) To build a much more data-driven communications program for stakeholders.
 
Topics include:
  • Corporate community investment
  • Development work in the community:
1. Understanding your community partners
2. Smarter and effective partnership
3. Investing in a sustainable community for business return
  • Measuring impacts
