This Quick Course covers ESG Essentials for non-practitioners in this one hour on-demand course.
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a ‘hot topic’ in the board space, but what does it actually mean?
Whilst many of us may feel confident in our judgement around the principles behind ESG, there is an increasing body of regulatory compliance, operational frameworks and evolving practice in the area. Having a broad understanding of the current practice around sustainability is essential to scrutinise ESG practice as a board director, as well as steering the strategic progress of the organisation towards its sustainability goals.
This Quick Course gives you an overview of the key regulations and requirements all NEDs should be aware of to effectively mitigate key risks in this area. We also go beyond compliance concerns to cover best practice in developing an impactful ESG strategy from board level, with reference to practical frameworks and evolving practice.
Åse Bergstedt shares her knowledge on implementing ESG, built over 15 years in leading global brands. This will give you the knowledge you need to navigate strategic discussions around ESG at a boardroom level, as well as giving you a clearer sense of any areas you may wish to deepen your knowledge.
