Featured TRC Workshop
Choosing ESG and EHS Reporting Platforms
Speakers: Monica Baron, Associate Director, Sustainability Advisory, and Justen Franklin, Director, EHS&S Performance Excellence
Selecting the right ESG and EHS software platform is more than sending out a generic IT RFP and picking a software vendor. Software alone will not equal success; it requires the understanding of the people, process and technology to empower the organization to operate effectively and efficiently before even drafting an RFP and demoing software platforms. This workshop will lay out a foundation of clear business functional requirements that take into account these important pillars for those looking to transform their ESG and EHS software solution.
Monday, October 12 | 3:30 PM – 4:45 PM
