Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Training Course
Investors, lenders, regulators and large customers now ask detailed questions about emissions, labour practices and board oversight, and weak answers can raise the cost of capital or cost a contract. The week opens with how ESG links to long-term value, risk and reputation, and how to run a materiality assessment that identifies the issues that matter to your business and stakeholders. Environmental sessions cover energy, water and waste management, greenhouse gas accounting across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, and climate risk. Social topics include human rights, labour standards, health and safety, community relations and stakeholder engagement.
Governance days examine board responsibilities, ethics, anti-corruption controls and accountability for sustainability targets. The final day is about measurement and disclosure, comparing GRI, the ISSB standards IFRS S1 and S2, and TCFD recommendations, and setting KPIs, data controls and assurance readiness. Participants work through a case company to draft a materiality matrix and an outline ESG report. Sustainability officers, finance and risk managers, compliance teams, company secretaries and board members gain a practical basis for building, measuring and reporting an ESG programme that holds up to investor and regulator scrutiny.
