SUSTAINABILITY WEBINAR: SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOLS & STANDARDS

*Webinar date/time: July 22, 2020; 1:00-3:00 PM ET

*Duration: 2 hours

*What will you learn?

Organizations are faced with continually identifying risks and finding solutions for key social, brand, and environmental challenges. Companies need credible and practical tools to collect metrics and facilitate analysis of policies and practices when developing sustainability goals and evaluating strategy. A critical means by which to accomplish this task is a sustainability self-assessment. A sustainability audit or self-assessment is a tool that’s used to compare your company’s practices with best practices for sustainability, and can be designed in a way that is simple and easy to use or complex and detailed.

Industry veterans will outline different approaches to sustainability self-assessment, discuss various sustainability standards, and how to create realistic science-based targets, and present examples that will help companies of all sizes plan and execute meaningful self-assessments.
