Certificate in sustainability reporting - Oct 2026

Leading organisations use sustainability reporting to improve transparency, build stakeholder confidence and communicate how they are managing sustainability-related risks and opportunities. As reporting expectations become more structured, finance and reporting professionals play a critical role in creating decision-useful information that supports trust, resilience and long-term value.  

This certificate builds your capability to make informed sustainability reporting decisions, developing the judgement, confidence and practical skills needed to navigate complex and evolving sustainability requirements.  

Through practical frameworks, tools and real-world application, you'll learn how to assess emerging reporting risks, apply materiality judgements, manage sustainability data challenges, and contribute to disclosures that withstand stakeholder scrutiny, regulatory review and assurance.  

On successful completion, you'll earn a microcredential that demonstrates your sustainability reporting capability to clients, employers, and peers.  

What you’ll be able to do differently  

• Confidently navigate emerging sustainability reporting risks across areas such as nature, modern slavery, human rights, circular economy and waste, and social metrics.  
• Select and apply robust materiality approaches that stand up to stakeholder scrutiny, regulatory review and assurance.  
• Strengthen sustainability data collection and reporting processes, including supplier data collection, data quality, disclosure practices, and ethical sustainability communications.  
• Contribute to ethical, accurate and compliant sustainability disclosures that build stakeholder trust and align with Australian and New Zealand standards.  

How you’ll learn   

A certificate is a structured learning journey that builds capability week by week.   

Participants progress through four self‑paced micro courses, supported by expert‑led workshops that help connect learning to real business challenges.   

All learning and assessment activities are completed over seven weeks, providing momentum without overwhelming busy professionals.
