Practical Sustainable Development and Reporting Conference – Overview
The aim of any business is to generate sustainable profits. The goal of sustainability is to achieve this while also minimising adverse impacts on society and the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives form part of a larger strategy of sustainability. The first EconoServ Practical Sustainable Development and Reporting Conference, presented in conjunction with Kulima Solutions, will highlight the opportunities for your business from embracing the goals of sustainability. This introductory course will include an overview of the key concepts of sustainability. The key outcome of the course will be a roadmap for developing strategies and implementation plans for sustainability within your business.
