As companies strive to improve, maintain and increase their financial performance, the parallel development of a sustainability strategy should reflect a positive and systematic impact across the Triple Bottom Line.

Easier said than done!

Admittedly, it's not easy to move from partial systems that do just enough along the people-planet-profit continuum towards systems that maintain best practice and create long term value.

The Centre for Sustainability and Excellence, Trust Across America, Fenton Communications, Terra Pass, Enablon and CSRwire join forces in New York City, NY on December 2nd and 3rd as part of CSE's Scheduled Training Workshops titled Certified "Sustainability (CSR) Practitioner."

These industry leaders will provide a unique learning opportunity for professionals that are called to design, implement, manage and communicate sustainability. Training offers career progression for those aspiring to become leading in-house or external Sustainability Practitioners in their industries. Using a systemic approach in day-to-day decision-making is the stepping stone to overcoming the complexity of the triple bottom line.

Professionals with a direct background in Organizational Sustainability may be familiar with concepts such as: 'stakeholder trust,' 'enterprise carbon accounting,' 'carbon offsetting,' 'green marketing,' 'GRI reporting,' 'sustainability scorecards;' however, increasingly most professionals irrespective of their professional backgrounds are called to the challenge of generating meaning and measurable results for these concepts.

Qualified Sustainability Practitioners play a vital role in embedding strategies and programs for non-financial achievements which trigger financial success, stakeholder trust and brand transparency. CSE is committed to equipping the market with qualified practitioners to generate values and beliefs that drive Financial Brand Value, Reputation & Identity through Corporate Sustainability.
