Social responsibility, Sustainability, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and reputational capital have become critical success factors for businesses and organizations of all types worldwide.
Society and key stakeholders expect those they partner with to create social value and environmental stewardship simultaneously with creating business and organizational value. Without this evolution, they can negatively impact your growth and success.
The professionals at the CSR Training Institute can help you better understand and adapt to these changes, turn challenges into unique opportunities, and create a strategic competitive advantage to drive success and facilitate a synergistic alignment between business value, social value, and environmental stewardship.
“Creating value and sustainable competitive advantage are at the core of all that we do. Our goal is to help you integrate business and social value with environmental stewardship to identify and develop unique value propositions. Our goal is to make your organization stronger, better, more resilient and more competitive.”

GRI Certified Standards Training – Using the GRI Standards for impactful sustainability reporting
GRI Certified Standards Training – Using the GRI Standards for impactful sustainability reporting
Leading businesses across the globe are embracing the guidelines developed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as the leading framework for sustainability reporting. However, in Ghana and wider Africa GRI reporting is only now entering the conversation.
Using the GRI Standards, the GRI’s new generation of sustainability reporting frameworks, not only provides a widely accepted tool to communicate sustainability efforts. Sustainability reporting, done strategically and efficiently, also allows organizations to strategically leverage their sustainability management to improve social impact and environmental stewardship and thus reducing business risks while creating immediate impact and long-term competitive advantage that drives business value and success into the future.
The CSR Training Institute is a pioneer of sustainability reporting in West Africa. We are proud members of the GRI GOLD Community - a global network of committed GRI supporters, as well as the first official GRI Training Partner in Ghana. Join us for our GRI Certified Standards Training courses and learn how to seize the opportunity sustainability reporting offers for your business!

However, many partnerships either don’t get developed, end in frustration or don’t realize their full potential in creating organizational and social value.
Our focus in this session is to help your organization assess, negotiate, implement, manage, rescue and when necessary terminate partnerships. With over two decades of experience with sustainability partnerships of all kinds, we’ll help you create value for both partners so you can better make a positive impact in the world.
