In order for a paper to be published, it must be qualified as "original research." Would doing a poster presentation at your school jeopardize this? How about at a formal conference?

Original means that the work belongs to you, not necessarily that it has been published before.

When my research was selected for american heart assocation QCOR I had to sign a thing saying the research wasn't presented or published anywhere else before this. Look at the guidelines of wherever you are getting it published.

I created a "report" from my research that was presented to the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC). Do you think I'd be allowed to list this as a publication/research paper?

Generally speaking, poster presentations or talks are OKAY... most journals will not mind. But to be sure, check each journal's submission guidelines.
Basically, if journals said no, nobody would be going to conferences.

It sounds like it would fit better under Presentations.

Most journals don't care about posters/conferences. Everyone (except those afraid of being scooped) present their research as it progresses at conferences. That's the entire point of a conference, to get exposed to the bleeding edge of science.
What journals DO care about is if you've already published the research somewhere else, be it in a journal or book. They also might care if it was part of a thesis that was released on your school's website (which most universities do these days I believe), but again, it's a pretty common practice to take a thesis/dissertation and turn it into a publication. Still, if you're worried about this you can tell your university to restrict access to thesis/dissertation.
