Become a Smarter and More Effective Leader

Rapidly acquire the skills you need to master the concepts of sustainability and ESG.

Climate change, biodiversity loss and social inequality are challenges that can’t be tackled individually. These are interlinked and must be addressed together. Leaders who understand how ESG has developed into what it is today, and why joined-up thinking is the only way forward, are in demand.

  • Speak confidently about the evolution of sustainability to ESG.
  • Develop an understanding of events that have shaped the global perspective of ESG.
  • Be clear about the characteristics and differences between corporate social responsibility, ESG and impact-led approaches to sustainability.

This course is ideal if you’re in a mid to senior-level role and you need to have a comprehensive understanding of how ESG has emerged.
