In 2009, ISS will be running the Sustainability Reporting Alliance in New South Wales. We have received a lot of interest from councils and public agencies in the state, and will relocate our base to deliver this program. If councils are interested in finding out more, they can contact Helen Scott, Manager Sustainability Services.

ISS will also be conducting a Pilot of the Sustainability Self Assessment tool in Victoria, with the support of Sustainability Victoria.

These programs will form the basis of a range of new sustainability integration programs to be offered by ISS in 2009.

• Integrated Sustainability Services (ISS) was formed mid-year, combining the strengths, skills and resources of ICLEI Sustainability Services and the Centre for Public Agency Sustainability Reporting.

• Several councils completed the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Capacity Building Program during 2008, and a very successful Sustainability Reporting Alliance was held throughout the year.
  
  
• TBL Program councils participated in a range of workshops, covering topics such as sustainability review, sustainability planning and indicators, sustainability reporting, and specific sustainability training workshops.
  
  
• ISS developed the Sustainability Assessment Tool for Local Governments, funded by Sustainability Victoria. Piloting of the tool will begin in late 2008–early 2009.
  
  
• ISS presented a workshop session at the second National Environmental Management Systems Conference. The workshop, Fitting EMS Reporting into a Sustainability Reporting Framework, challenged environmental professionals to use sustainability reporting as a means of communicating the outcomes of their hard work on the environment to their key stakeholders.
  
  
• ISS launched its online networking list for TBL Program participants.
