ESG Awareness Online Training
Delivered online, our ESG training course provides an insight into environmental, social and governance factors and how organisations can integrate ESG into operations to reap the benefits.
ESG is a set of standards that measure a company’s or investment’s sustainability and ethical impact. These standards are employed by investors, businesses, and other stakeholders to assess how well a company is managing its impact on the environment, its relationships with society, and its corporate governance practices.
ESG factors are becoming increasingly integrated into management decisions in the UK and around the world. This course focuses on the core principles of ESG, and the impact on processes and decisions within the workplace.
