Overview
Who is this for?
This course is ideal for all those staff who are required to plan for, interpret outcomes and report on sustainability and governance. The course is an introduction to developing an ESG strategy which focuses on the environmental, social, and governance risks in operations as well as exploring the cost benefits.
We recommend that you collaborate with your sustainability team prior to the course or ask them to join the session.
Why should I take part?
There is increasing interest in the role of ESG and the impact on the triple bottom line – profit, people, planet. The commitment to quantifying ESG practices has become progressively more significant for local and central government and for universities and their departments. A clear ESG strategy can lead to not only better financial results but also to better engagement with key stakeholders in the community within which the business operates.
