ISO 37101 Sustainable Development

This 4-day course covers the ISO standard itself and the ancillary processes and guidelines needed to develop sustainable development in communities effectively. The ISO standard itself provides an outline and a checklist of tasks and procedures required to create and deploy a sustainable development plan effectively. Still, it lacks real-world examples and applications, which are crucial in effectively understanding the standard’s intent. To that end, we assist participants in interpreting and implementing the standard through actual case studies.

Course Overview

We design our ISO 37101 workshops to fit our clients’ needs and objectives. Therefore, our workshops include hands-on exercises and real-world case studies similar to what in their communities. Additionally, our instructors are LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP.) LEED, which stands for “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design,” is a certification issued by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and a gold standard for sustainability worldwide. We also provide follow-up consulting for up to 60 days after the participants have finished the workshop to address any questions or issues. The course work includes:
