The demand for ESG information from shareholders and other external stakeholders has been growing. With increasing pressure from stakeholders and regulators, it is becoming expected that organisations will provide meaningful disclosures about ESG risks and opportunities and their impact on the organisation. This is a move away from the traditional model, where business performance has been largely reported externally in financial terms through financial statements.
This micro course is designed to advise you of the current sustainability reporting landscape and prepare you to start drafting sustainability reports for your own organisation or clients.
Throughout this micro course, you will learn about the importance of sustainability reporting and what readers of these reports are looking for. You will also start to identify where you can use existing information and how to decide on a reporting framework.
