Value of an IEMA Certified Workshop:
This challenging 2-day course enables participants to acquire the skills and competencies required to become Certified Sustainability/CSR practitioners. Through specialized, detailed, and highly focused training, it provides them with the tools and necessary practical framework to improve CSR decision making, manage risks, measure performance, and to create and leverage partnerships.
The value of CSE training events comes from the small group workshops that are held over the two days. This approach allows participants to learn of the experiences and approaches of their peers working in the field, while also taking direction from CSE trainers.
Upon completion of the course, the trainees are able to apply their knowledge in all levels of Sustainability and CSR from the development and implementation of effective CSR strategies, to reporting and communication.
Course programs and agendas can be provided upon request.
To attain Sustainability / CSR Certification, participants must also create a CSR Action Plan. This process takes about two weeks to complete, after finishing the workshop.
