CSR Press Release

July 29, 2009 - Do you want to help organizations figure out how to "go green"? Do you have a passion for sustainability but no formal audit training? Join Strategic Sustainability Consulting for a 3-day training event and become a certified SSC Green Auditor.

As more and more organizations are striving to integrate sustainability into their operations, there has been a growing necessity for consistent, reliable Green Audit methodology and trained certified auditors. Due to this market need, and since Green Audits have been a core part of SSC's business over the years, the company decided to evolve its proprietary tools and methodology into a formal certification program. The program is designed to train and license local auditors across the United States, so that they can deliver high-quality Green Audits.

Does this sound like the ideal program for you?

Using SSC's proprietary methodology and tools, you will learn how to:

• Determine employees' attitudes and awareness about "going green"
  
• Calculate your client's carbon footprint
  
• Assess your client's environmental strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement
  
• Provide relevant, cost-effective, and impactful green recommendation

After completing the course you will walk away with a host of tactical tools (surveys, spreadsheets, templates) and also gain access to SSC's green recommendations and results. Additionally, you will be listed on the SSC website as a certified SSC Green Auditor, receive a "Certified SSC Green Auditor" logo to use on your own materials and have preferential status when SSC contracts with local sustainability consultants.

"The SSC Green Auditor Certification Course was an excellent experience. Becoming a SSC Green Auditor provided the final set of tools I needed to start my new sustainability consulting business. Armed with a suite of tools such as sample PowerPoint presentations, I am able to offer clients a service that I could not have created as quickly on my own. I can now provide a complete, proven assessment methodology along with benchmarking against other similar businesses right from the start."

Michelle Bishop, Certified Green Auditor.

• Date: August 26 - August 28, 2009
  
• Location: Washington, DC
