We look back on an active first half of 2019: While we successfully completed multiple projects, including annual reports, sustainability reports, corporate brochures, and corporate reporting workshops, the upcoming reporting cycle has already started.

Current reporting practices span a wide range of reporting styles and purposes. The increasing complexity in reporting – especially in view of Integrated Reporting – requires optimized processes and ample time planning.

The PETRANIX Academy is delighted about the new partnership with the Business School Geneva. As part of the DAS in Sustainable Development, around 20 participants attended the GRI Certified Module on Sustainability Reporting. Further courses in this field will follow in the second half of the year. Please find detailed information about it below. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you to these events.

In the meantime, we wish you a great summer.

GRI Workshop: Integrating the SDGs into your reporting process

The one-day SDG course provides information on the GRI Standards and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). You will get to know the SDGs and learn how they can be used in combination with the GRI standards as part of an annual or sustainability report. Using a hands-on approach, you will learn how to integrate the SDGs into your reporting process to demonstrate your company's contribution to sustainable development. Case studies show how other companies have already started to integrate the SDGs into their reporting process.
