CSR Press Release

The Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE) invites you to an exciting new event, the Certified Carbon Strategy Practitioner training. This exclusive event will be held in New York City on August 27‑28, and will be the only course of its kind in 2012.

The Certified Carbon Strategy Practitioner addresses the needs of sustainability professionals looking to understand and create a GHG emissions measurement and reduction strategy, manage reporting with widely-accepted frameworks, and learn the techniques to create green products and services. Attendees will benefit from detailed knowledge of managing environmental and climate change issues.

Later in the year, CSE will host its next Certified Sustainability (CSR) Practitioner Training in San Francisco, California ( September 13-14). This course will provide you with the tools necessary to develop sustainable strategies, implement CSR programs, and communicate performance, through sustainability (CSR) reporting methods.

These two-day courses focus on facing the challenges experienced by Executives, Directors, Managers, and other working professionals in the fields of sustainability, corporate communications, and corporate responsibility.
