New training on how to disclose biodiversity impacts

GRI Academy course focuses on the revamped Biodiversity Standard

Sustainability professionals can now build and improve their expertise and knowledge of how to report their impacts on nature with the revised GRI Biodiversity Standard – following the launch of a new course. 

Charting a greener path: reporting on biodiversity with GRI Standards is now available on the GRI Academy - the leading sustainability reporting training platform. The online training takes an in-depth look at the disclosures in GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024, the newly launched standard.  

The course provides the know-how for how to best use and apply GRI 101. Moreover, the course deep dives into biodiversity as a wider topic, exploring current global trends and challenges and stakeholder expectations for businesses to disclose and reduce their biodiversity-related risks and impacts. 

Offering an interactive and self-paced learning experience, the course includes the following components: 

1. 1. The GRI Standards and GRI 101 
   2. Biodiversity – trends, challenges and opportunities 
   3. Why is biodiversity relevant to business? 
   4. Integrating biodiversity into sustainability reporting 

The course takes approximately two-and-a-half hours to complete and can also be completed as part of the GRI Professional Certification Program’s Continuing Education Units - which are necessary to maintain the certification obtained.
