Thank you for adding new courses
I have been studying sustainability with GRI for 5 years. The program enables us to see the society’s developments on sustainability from corporate reporting lens. GRI adds timely topics after completing the certification and I appreciate it.

Great Learning Experience
Very easy to understand and follow, and it made me feel less intimated with the GRI Standards because it was explained in such a way that I can see the interconnection and the inter-relatedness of the topics.

The course is comprehensive and…
The course is comprehensive and covering all topics related to sustainability disclosures. What makes it easier is how it is broken down into smaller segments for ensuring the audience is capturing the subject at a good pace. Most of us are busy with many things and our minds are preoccupied. The combination of lecture, interaction and visuals helps in retaining most of the information shared.

Reporting skills
GRI is comprehensive and well delivered. I personally would like to work further with the ESRS and do not see the need for an additional certification process since the two GRI and ESRS are very much similar. The renewal course offer was not so relevant to my profile and needs.

It was helpful to hear the doubts of a third party
It was helpful to hear the doubts of a third party regarding the use of sector
standards. It would be useful to see how the GRI index is filled with made up examples of numbers for real indicators

Condensed, comprehensive knowledge for reporters
The course was structured and balanced, sufficiently interactive and very comprehensive in including pertinent notions, such as references to Scope 3 emissions, clarifications on transition and mitigation plans and many more. It's not only methodological, but also very substantial.
