ESG Reporting Specialist

"The course initially appealed to me for the chance to learn both theoretical and practical perspectives related to ESG and sustainability reporting. Through plentiful case studies, exercises and mentorship sessions, it was an excellent crash course in the quickly evolving reporting sphere. In addition to enhancing my knowledge on a wide range of sustainability frameworks and standards, I also studied the EU CSRD reporting requirements and learned about sustainability reporting processes and techniques. The course covers benchmarking, ESG roadmap planning, ESG data collection, evaluation and control strategies, and approaches to report writing and design. I now have a much stronger understanding of the wide range of reporting approaches and formats, insights into how ESG regulations are affecting reporting processes, and clarity on how reporting fits into the broader context of a sustainability strategy. If anyone is looking for a professional development course in sustainability reporting that includes helpful and flexible practical skills training, I definitely recommend this certificate program!"
