- Overview
Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are increasingly urging companies to disclose climate-related risks, opportunities, and performance metrics. Pressure from investors, regulators, employees, and stakeholders underscores the critical importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles at all levels of operation. ESG practices help manage risks and opportunities, prompting regulators to mandate energy consumption and GHG emissions disclosure. Our “ESG Essentials” course delves into these core principles, providing participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate ESG considerations. By fostering sustainable, socially responsible, and well-governed practices, this course empowers individuals in both business and investment sectors to contribute to a more sustainable future.
