Sustainability Planning and Reporting: A Systematic Method

in

It seems everyone is all of a sudden "going green."  Is this just the latest fad in business?  In fact, many businesses in this tough economy see sustainability as one of the best ways to save money and enhance their competitiveness, but how do you get started? How do you move beyond asking employees to turn the lights off and approach the issue of sustainability in a systematic, long term manner?

If your organization has begun asking these types of questions, then come to this practical, live, interactive workshop. Join Marsha Willard, co-author of the award-winning book The Business Guide to Sustainability and The Step-By-Step Guide to Sustainability Planning, for a practical step-by-step workshop on the process for creating sustainability plans, conducting sustainability assessments, and facilitating your sustainability journey.

You will receive access to a set of electronic files called SPaRK - the Sustainability Planning and Reporting Kit, to help you develop your own sustainability plan, metrics and report; and the training necessary to take full advantage of this power set of tools.

To order a copy of the book at a discounted rate, go to http://www.axisperformance.com/publications.html

This course meets on-line on Wednesdays (February 3, 10, 17, 24) at 12:00PM Pacific Time for 60-90 minutes.
