DuBOIS — Penn State DuBois Continuing and Community Education is offering a new statewide workforce development certificate aimed at helping companies in all industries improve their knowledge and processes related to sustainability.
This non-credit sustainability certificate program, that was developed in partnership with Penn State Scranton and Penn State Sustainability, is aimed to help businesses in all industries be prepared for new climate-related reporting and disclosers.
With the Securities and Exchange Commission having adopted new rules for publicly traded companies to disclose climate-related information in annual reports, sustainability coordinators in all industries need to help assess, recommend and implement plans to ensure processes and policies are efficient and responsible for the three pillars of the triple bottom line: people, prosperity and the planet. The sustainability certificate program aims to help business professionals turn rigorous knowledge into meaningful action.
This program will feature opportunities to learn from experts at Penn State, the top-rated university in the Big Ten in the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education sustainability tracking, assessment and rating system, which recognizes innovations in sustainable procurement, energy, water and climate leadership. The certificate program was developed through the oversight of Penn State Sustainability and addresses key concepts covered in the International Society of Sustainability Professionals’ sustainability excellence associate certification.
For those interested in learning more about the program, an information session will be offered online through Zoom at no cost on Aug. 7 beginning at noon. Preregistration is required for this session and can be completed online.
