ESG Reporting & Analysis
The increasing volume of regulations in the market, including the EU Project Task Force on European Sustainability Reporting Standards (PTF-ESRS), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) the 77 Sector Standards of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the newly established International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), demonstrate the growing recognition of the value of sustainable investment and highlight the importance of incorporating ESG in your reporting and investment decisions.
These 7 hours training, split in two sessions- is an introductory course that helps you orientate in the ESG world of standards, guidelines, rankings, ratings and indices. You will get familiar with the leading organisations, their methodology and approaches. It will help you to link different standards in your reporting process and how to apply the concept of double materiality. You will learn to critically analyse the value and limitations of ESG rankings, ratings and indices. Moreover, you will have an exercise after the first session on double materiality. It is therefore important to remember to allow extra time for group work.
