Mentor-led sustainability reporting programme for U.S. companies — SEC Climate Disclosure Rules, California SB 253 & SB 261, SASB, IFRS S1 & S2, TCFD, plus EU CSRD/ESRS for multinational groups with European exposure. Delivered by Dr. Ross Kurinko and senior practitioners.
This Certified Sustainability Reporting Course is purpose-built for U.S.-listed issuers, SEC filers and U.S. operations of multinational groups. Built on 15+ years of ESG-reporting practice across global and U.S. engagements, it integrates the U.S. regulatory landscape — SEC Climate Disclosure Rules and California Climate Laws (SB 253 & SB 261) — with the voluntary frameworks investors actually read (GRI, SASB, IFRS S1/S2, TCFD), and EU CSRD/ESRS for groups with European exposure.
SEC Climate Disclosure Rules (federal filers) · California SB 253 (Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act) · California SB 261 (Climate-Related Financial Risk Act) · SASB (industry-specific metrics, widely used by U.S. issuers)
GRI · IFRS S1 & S2 (ISSB global baseline) · TCFD · CSRD / ESRS (for U.S. groups with EU operations, listings or supply chains)
A dedicated module on U.S. regulatory frameworks (SEC Climate Rules and California SB 253/261), another on voluntary frameworks (GRI & SASB), a third on the ISSB global baseline (IFRS S1/S2 + TCFD), and a fourth on EU CSRD/ESRS — all in one curriculum, not five separate courses.
Most U.S. sustainability-reporting courses pick a side — SEC compliance, or voluntary frameworks, or California. This one walks through how to satisfy all of them with one disclosure architecture: reduce rework, structure outputs for seamless reuse across federal filings, California reporting, investor communications and EU exposure.
You leave with the working artefacts: SASB-derived industry materiality reference, GRI cross-mapping checklist, SEC-filing narrative framework and California SB 253 inventory management plan. Templates calibrated to your sector and filing context.
The programme is mentor-led, not self-paced. Personalised one-to-one Zoom sessions with Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor. We use the AI-powered LRA Study Studio to accelerate learning, but the judgement calls — on filing status, materiality, jurisdictional choices — stay human.
Real-life examples from American companies — SASB-aligned disclosures, SEC filings, California submissions and multinational reports — drawn from the practitioner experience behind the curriculum. Not a global course with a U.S. sticker.
Up to 10 one-to-one Zoom sessions of 1.5 hours with Dr. Ross Kurinko or a senior LRA mentor — calibrated to your filing status (SEC-registered or private), California exposure, sector's SASB profile, EU footprint and data maturity. Covers the full 7-theme curriculum end-to-end. Subject to mentor availability.
Everything in the core mentorship, plus extended mentor time and line-by-line review of your actual disclosure drafts — SEC narrative, California SB 253 inventory management plan, SB 261 risk report, and the bridging work to IFRS / CSRD. Best for issuers with an active filing cycle. Subject to mentor availability.

The U.S. programme runs inside the AI-powered LRA Study Studio: three full courses — GRI, ESRS and IFRS S1 / S2 — plus read-mode access to Assurance and Materiality. The U.S. regulatory layer (SEC, California SB 253/261, SASB) is delivered live by your mentor on zoom — coming to the platform soon.
It is built for sustainability reporting — not generic online learning. The Studio combines expert-built reporting content, a specialist AI Tutor, Dr. Kurinko's AI Avatar, applied assessments, growth-area tracking and access to experienced ESG reporting professionals through the platform.
