Putting Sustainability into Practice from Framework to Field

This webinar connects the corporate sustainability conversation with the practical realities of sustainable remediation. Sue Bruning, GRI Certified Sustainability Professional, will introduce the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an internationally recognized sustainability reporting framework, exploring how it helps organizations identify material topics, establish meaningful metrics, and communicate sustainability performance. Drawing on more than a decade of experience leading GRI-aligned sustainability reporting, she will focus specifically on what sustainability frameworks mean for environmental professionals and how practitioners can connect their work to broader organizational sustainability priorities.

Then Hannah Tompkins, Remediation Project Specialist at Corteva Agriscience, will bring the conversation into the field. Through examples from projects in Colombia and Brazil, she will explore how project teams approached sustainability through data collection and collaboration, along with the practical challenges and opportunities involved in translating sustainability goals into project-level action.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how recognized sustainability frameworks connect to remediation practice, which sustainability information is meaningful at the project level, and how collaboration between organizations, consultants, and project teams can help move sustainability from framework to field.
