Webinar: Five practical steps to start measuring and reporting your organisation’s impact

The increasing awareness of sustainability issues and their potential risk to businesses and communities, has led to an emerging trend in measuring and reporting the value and costs that businesses bring to society and the environment.

For many stakeholders it is no longer deemed sufficient for businesses to measure and report their social and environmental performance without giving their figures further context in terms of their impacts.

The interest around impact measurement, valuation and reporting is increasing across different organisations and industries. Organisations are keen to explore and implement new types of disclosures as it enables decision makers to improve their sustainability strategies and shift social and environmental change towards a positive direction.

Greenstone has partnered with impact measurement experts Vertigo Ventures to hold a 30-minute webinar on what impact reporting is and how to start measuring and reporting impacts as part of your organisation’s reporting strategy.

This 30-minute session will include:

• What is impact reporting?
• Five practical steps on how to start
• Importance of culture change and internal engagement
• Clarity in frameworks & methodology
  
  

Speakers:

• Laura Tucker, CEO, Vertigo Ventures
• David Wynn, Head of Client Services, Greenstone
