Environmental, Social and Governance factors are now part of how a company is valued, lent to and held accountable. They sit in investor questionnaires, in regulatory filings, in customer due diligence and in board agendas, which means somebody inside the organisation has to own them properly rather than assemble an answer each time one is asked.
This four-day course equips professionals with the knowledge to understand ESG frameworks, reporting standards, compliance expectations and implementation strategies, through practical, expert-led training. It is the most complete ESG programme we run: you leave able to lead ESG initiatives and align your organisation with evolving sustainability and governance expectations, and you earn the Certified ESG Professional recognition.
Course Objectives
Course Content
Taught through practice: interactive case studies, real-world ESG scenarios and implementation exercises run across the four days, so the frameworks are applied rather than described.
Global Benchmarks
The most widely used sustainability reporting standards, written for a broad stakeholder audience.
SEBI's disclosure framework, mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies in India.
Industry-specific standards focused on the issues that are financially material to investors.
Environmental disclosure through which companies report climate, water and forests data.
Why four, not one: an Indian listed company may face a BRSR filing, an investor asking in SASB terms and a customer asking for a CDP response, all describing the same operations. Knowing how the frameworks map onto each other is what stops that becoming four separate reporting exercises.
Key Takeaways
A strong working understanding of ESG principles and the frameworks built on them.
Knowledge of GRI, BRSR, SASB and CDP, and where each one applies.
Practical tools for building an ESG roadmap rather than an ESG statement.
Hands-on learning through case studies and real-world ESG scenarios.
The Certified ESG Professional recognition on completion.
Choosing
Two days, for one job: producing a SEBI BRSR filing that will be verified.
Three days on building the programme: strategy, materiality, governance and KPIs.
Four days and the widest scope, ending in a credential. This course.
