Environmental

This course covers GRI's Environmental performance indicators that assess an organization's impacts on living and non-living natural systems, including ecosystems, land, air, and water. Environmental Indicators cover performance related to inputs (e.g., material, energy, water), outputs (e.g., emissions, effluents, waste), biodiversity, environmental compliance and the environmental impacts of products and services.

 

Human Rights, Society & Product Responsibility Disclosures

This session covers GRI's Human Rights performance indicators that assess the impacts and activities an organization has on the civil, political, economic, social and cultural human rights of its stakeholders. Among the human rights issues included are nondiscrimination, gender equality, freedom of association, collective bargaining, child labor, forced and compulsory labor, and indigenous rights. GRI's Society performance indicators, designed to assess the impacts organizations have on the local communities and other social institutions. The Society issues include corruption, public policy, anti-competitive behavior and compliance. Within GRI's Product Responsibility Performance Indicators are aspects of products and services that directly affect customers such as healthy local community engagement, impact and safety, and development programs.

 

Economic, Labor Practices & Decent Work Disclosures

The economic dimension of sustainability concerns the organization's impacts on the economic conditions of its stakeholders and on economic systems at local, national, and global levels. The Economic Indicators illustrate flow of capital among different stakeholders and main economic impacts. Labor Practices & Decent Work performance indicators include employment, labor/management relations, occupational health and safety, training and education, diversity and equal opportunity, and equal compensation for women and men.

 

Governance & Profile Disclosures

The GRI Profile disclosures provide information that sets the overall context for understanding organizational performance such as its strategy, profile and governance. Profile disclosures reveal trends about the company's overall structure, the internal controls the company has in place and critical information about the report itself.

TESTIMONIAL

"When a company has a motto of helping organizations do well by doing good then that company has set the bar higher for themselves in gauging performance. As part of their daily method of doing business, the owners check in with clients asking, ‘How's it going? What can we do better to support you?’ They don't wait until you call – they call you.


One of my best experiences was when one of the owners at BrownFlynn met with me to tell me that the current project was not meeting their expectations. I expected to hear how my team needed to improve but instead was surprised to hear they owned responsibility and were assigning a new leader to my project on their dime. I became complacent and assumed the project was good enough – but it wasn’t good enough for BrownFlynn standards. In the end, the engagement exceeded my expectations on every level. That’s what I call exceptional service and why I recommend BrownFlynn first to other business leaders."
