About this course
ESG Reporting and Disclosure (ISSB and GRI) gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of ESG frameworks: ISSB, GRI and SASB and materiality assessment, then builds the skills to apply data collection and controls, writing the sustainability report and assurance and stakeholder communication in real work. ESG, sustainability and net zero courses for the reporting, carbon accounting and decarbonisation skills that regulators and investors now require. One of our most requested courses. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2026.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Sustainability, HSE, finance, strategy and reporting professionals, and managers responsible for ESG and climate targets. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
