Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Workshop Series – July 20
In July’s continuing ESG Workshop Series focus is on Strategy, Goals, Community. This month’s webinar introduces participants to the “S” in ESG: social. How does your business impact the community around you, and how can you tell that story? This session also includes policies and guidance for the development of a sustainability strategy, and specific issues to consider.

This interactive series is particularly useful to members who are at the beginning of their journey of tracking, reporting, or storytelling their sustainability or ESG impact. For those further along in their ESG work, it provides information on how ISRI can help develop their program. Attendees will have the chance to provide input on the development of ISRI’s ESG toolkit throughout this series.

The webinar series will continue throughout the year. The full list of webinars can be viewed here. Interested attendees need to register only once for the whole series. Each monthly session will take place on the second Thursday of the month at 11 a.m. Eastern/8 a.m. Pacific (with the exception of December).
