Most organisations can describe their ESG intentions. Far fewer can show an investor a material issue, a measurable KPI against it and a report that survives assurance. Implementation is the distance between those two positions, and it is where ESG work either becomes a management system or stays a brochure.
This three-day programme equips participants with the knowledge and skills required to implement Environmental, Social and Governance principles within their organisations. It covers the fundamentals of ESG, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement and the preparation of sustainability reports aligned with globally recognised frameworks, through interactive sessions, case studies and practical exercises.
Learning Objectives
Course Content
Taught through practice: interactive sessions, case studies, practical exercises and hands-on activities run through all three days rather than sitting at the end of them.
Reporting
The most widely used sustainability reporting standards, written for a broad stakeholder audience.
Industry-specific standards focused on the issues that are financially material to investors.
Climate-related financial disclosure: governance, strategy, risk management and metrics.
Why three, not one: the same ESG programme is read differently by a regulator, an investor and a community stakeholder. Knowing which framework answers whose question is most of the reporting job.
Course Benefits
ESG principles and the drivers behind them, understood rather than recited.
Materiality, strategy, KPIs and reporting, worked through on real cases.
Expertise that opens roles in sustainability, consulting, compliance and ESG leadership.
Transparency and disclosure that meets rising regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
Awareness or Implementation
You need the concepts and the vocabulary, you are briefing a board or a team, or ESG has just landed on your desk and you want to know what it involves before committing further.
You have to build the thing: run the materiality assessment, set the KPIs, stand up the governance and produce a report that will be read by investors and assured by a third party.
