This course is designed to position participants to gain buy-in for ESG initiatives from board-level peers.
Participants will consider what strong ESG governance looks like and best practices to create a clear ESG plan, with integrated measurement, reporting and communication plans. The programme will help delegates to ensure that this is aligned against the expected impact on the organisation.
