The Mastering ESG Reporting Training Course is a complete professional development program that provides both in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience regarding the world of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting. The increased regulatory pressure and continued public scrutiny that organisations within the power and utilities industries are currently experiencing have made high-quality sustainability disclosures and transparent non-financial reportings, as well as the integration of these disclosures into their corporate strategies, a strategic focus for utilities. The ESG reporting training course gives participants an understanding of how to comply with all requirements associated with ESG reporting, allowing them to develop their reporting based upon recognised global standards for ESG reporting, while also ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of their information.
The Imperial Corporate Training Institute will provide personnel who will deliver the training course to practitioners. The course will provide participants with a complete view of all phases of ESG reporting, including identifying and collecting all the relevant data through to defining a disclosure strategy, to assuring that information is ready for disclosure, and continuously improving on ESG reporting. Participants will learn how to successfully integrate their corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting with their overall corporate sustainability objectives, how to appropriately “mine” ESG data to produce valuable insights and how to build their capacity to effectively respond to all relevant regulators, investors, and other external stakeholders. The course combines the technical aspects of ESG reporting with practical frameworks that will give participants clarity on the expectations of emerging ESG reports within the power and utilities industry.
