Executive Certificate Programme for ESG Professionals

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles have emerged as requirements for ensuring profitability and sustainability in today's business landscape. Investors now demand alignment with their ESG frameworks covering supply chains and take commitments on gap filling, transparency and accountability. Decisions on investments, mergers and acquisitions often use ESG ratings and assess leadership to know the commitment to mainstreaming ESG. With our certificate programme, you'll understand ESG essentials comprehensively and learn how to navigate this critical terrain and seize opportunities. 

Our programme transcends the ordinary run-of-the-mill training experience; it's an immersive journey meticulously crafted by seasoned experts who have international experience and have closely worked with investors and regulators. Immerse yourself in frontier topics and gain hands-on experience that is not only demanded in practice but often elusive in conventional training settings. Additionally, build a network with like-minded ESG professionals.

Our curriculum is divided into three modules: ESG Essentials, ESG Reporting and Rating, ESG Impact and Financing. You'll absorb both theory and practice through self-paced modules, live classes by experts, audio-visual snippets, real-world case studies, panel discussions, and engaging Q&As

The programme requires self-study and collective learning of up to 50 hours over a period of 3 months.
