About This Course

This professional training program provides a comprehensive understanding of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and their integration into enterprise risk management and corporate strategy. Participants will explore the evolving ESG landscape, the shift toward stakeholder capitalism, and the strategic role of ESG in creating long-term value. The program examines globally recognised reporting frameworks, including GRI, SASB, TCFD, and ISSB, and demonstrates how they support transparent sustainability reporting and regulatory compliance. It further equips participants with the knowledge to identify and assess material ESG risks, integrate climate and supply chain risks into Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), and establish effective governance practices. Finally, the program focuses on ESG data management, carbon accounting, performance measurement, and assurance practices to strengthen data integrity, mitigate greenwashing risks, and support credible, investor-grade sustainability disclosures.

What You'll Learn

Define ESG Fundamentals: Articulate the three pillars (Environmental, Social, Governance) and their interaction in shaping corporate risk and long-term value.
Analyze the Stakeholder Shift: Examine the transition from shareholder primacy to stakeholder capitalism and its impact on corporate legitimacy.
Identify Risks & Opportunities: Recognize material ESG risks, such as climate exposure and governance failures, and identify competitive advantages.
Link ESG to Strategy: Connect ESG frameworks directly to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and long-term strategic planning.
Gain a working knowledge of GRI, SASB, TCFD, and ISSB — their origins, structure, and intended audiences.
Identify the key differences in scope, materiality, and stakeholder focus across frameworks and know when each applies.
Use frameworks in real reporting scenarios, including dual reporting, scenario analysis, and integrated disclosure strategies.
Connect ESG disclosures to enterprise risk management processes, regulatory requirements, and board-level governance.
Identify Material ESG Risks: Use materiality assessments to prioritise ESG factors that could impact financial performance.

Evaluate Supply Chain Risk: Assess ESG risks in global value chains, including labor rights, modern slavery, and environmental compliance.
Integrate ESG into ERM: Embed ESG considerations into board oversight, incentive alignment, and strategic decision-making.
Define & Measure ESG KPIs: Categorize and quantify KPIs (Environmental, Social, Governance) aligned to material business risks.
Understand Carbon Scopes: Distinguish between Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and apply recognized accounting standards like the GHG Protocol.
Assess Data Quality: Evaluate data governance controls and integrity requirements for investor-grade, auditable disclosures.
