Deepen your knowledge in Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors and sustainable business practices.
Description
This course will deepen your knowledge on ESG topics, as it offers an overview of the ESG factors and metrics that one needs to understand to integrate ESG into business strategies. During the course, the concept of double materiality will be explained, using practical examples to illustrate which ESG issues are most important to the long-term success of the business and most important to stakeholders. To fully understand the ESG dynamics, we need to reconnect the systems, hence, the concept of systems thinking will be covered to better understand that even accurate numbers will not lead us to better outcomes, unless we fully understand the context behind the data. To conclude, we will go through an overview of how to evaluate ESG, focusing on disclosure quality.
