As stakeholders’ expectations on Corporate Responsibility (CR) reporting are constantly increasing,companies are starting to face questions such as: What issues shall I report on? Shall I apply the G3 guidelines and how? Shall I verify my corporate responsibility report? How can I prepare my company for assurance? How to best report and manage my carbon emissions?

We are pleased to invite you to our 2nd Corporate Responsibility Seminar, which will take place on Thursday December 6th 2007 in ‘The Garry Weston Library’ of the Southwark Cathedral in London. During this interactive seminar entitled ‘Assurance of Corporate Responsibility Reporting – Your Questions Answered’ you will experience using case studies, how multinational organisations have developed their reporting and implemented Corporate Responsibility and Climate Change policies into their daily operation.

DNV’s event aims not only at covering all relevant topics with regards to assurance of CR reporting and Carbon Emissions. We also want to offer you an insider’s view to the role of the assuror, e.g. what the role of the assuror is really like, lessons learnt, examples of best practice, etc. We also would like to help companies understand the links between G3, Application Levels and Assurance.
