ISOS Group, a GRI-approved Training Partner for the US region, and Prizma, the developer of GRI-certified training programs in Canada and the US, joined forces to respond to a growing demand for high quality sustainability reporting training opportunities in the US.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) offers the world's most widely recognized and used sustainability reporting framework. Course participants receive their course completion certificates, which demonstrate their knowledge of GRI’s Third Generation sustainability reporting framework, directly from GRI. ISOS and Prizma's GRI-approved trainers have already successfully delivered over ten GRI-certified courses and currently scheduled GRI-certified courses in the US include the following:

• July 29-30, 2010: Berkeley Faculty Club, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA


• October 7-8, 2010: Marshall Goldsmith School of Management, Alliant University, San Diego, CA

For further details about courses and how to register, please visit http://isosgroup.com/gri-certified/. In collaboration with ISOS Group, Prizma will now be offering additional in-house and open courses in the Midwest and East Coast regions of the US.

ISOS Co-Founder Alexandru Georgescu concluded the agreement made with Mehrdad Nazari, Prizma's Director, by saying, "we greatly welcome this partnership with Mr. Nazari, who can help us meet the growing demand for high quality and GRI-certified sustainability reporting training!" Prizma's Director Mehrdad Nazari said, "we welcome this opportunity to collaborate with ISOS Group and bring GRI-certified training courses on sustainability reporting to underserved regions of the Midwest and East Coast."
