Bring the ESR to Your Company: Communications & Training Materials

The ESR Training materials on this page are products of several events WRI convened in 2009 and 2010 to train business consultants and managers to use the ESR. These events built ESR expertise in the global business sustainability field, but demand is still growing.

Hence, these resources are designed for people planning to use the ESR, in the midst of conducting an ESR, or wanting to promote the methodology to colleagues. The materials provide in-depth knowledge about the methodology through an array of corporate applications.
