Defining Corporate Priorities for Smarter Sustainability What does sustainability mean for your organization? During this session, Fulya Kocak will discuss varying levels of sustainability and define how they differ based on an organization's priorities. Using examples from the construction industry, Ms. Kocak will show participants - from project managers to Chief Executive Officers - how they can take action and apply smart strategies to further their company's sustainability goals. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
