Course Description:

Given the background of evolution and demand for incorporation of climate-related financial risk management in Enterprise Risk Management, Environmental Management Center LLP and auctusESG LLP are undertaking a knowledge-sharing initiative on a Certification course on Sustainable Finance, ESG, and Non-Financial Reporting.

The intent of this course is to equip participants with an introduction to Climate Change Risks and Opportunities, Sustainable Finance, Environment, Social and Governance practices, and Sustainability Reporting. While several academic courses focus on similar topics, the uniqueness of this course is that it would bring in practitioner’s perspectives, thus equipping the participants with the knowledge of practical implications of the focused topics.

Course Highlights:

• Lectures and panel discussions will include prominent speakers representing multinational corporations, consulting firms, and financial institutions.
• Participant interactions will be facilitated through group work and interactive tools such as Google Jam Boards and Mentimeter. In addition, live Q&A will be conducted at the end of each session.
• Participants will be awarded certificates after successfully attending all sessions and submitting the assignment.
