During Mentor Sessions, You Can:

1. Obtain Extensive Clarifications on Disclosure Requirements


Bring any questions about relevant regulations and standards—whether they involve California Climate Laws (CA SB 253/261), SEC proposals, IFRS, or European directives. Your mentor will help you understand how these requirements specifically apply to your organisation.

2. Request and Analyse Best Practices

Ask your mentor to provide top-tier examples and case studies on a chosen topic or disclosure requirement (e.g., materiality assessment, social impacts, due diligence, stakeholder engagement, assurance support, GHG-emissions accounting). Explore how leading companies approach ESG reporting, and discuss how to adapt these strategies for your own business.

3. Review Your Existing or Draft ESG Report

Present your previous or in-progress sustainability report for detailed critique and improvement recommendations. Your mentor will offer practical advice on structure, content, and design to ensure your report aligns with stakeholder expectations.

4. Receive Personalized Assignments and Comprehensive Feedback

Work on targeted tasks tailored to your company’s context. In follow-up sessions, your mentor will provide thorough feedback, helping you refine every aspect of your ESG reporting process.

5. Request Additional Materials and Guidance

If you need deeper insights into specific topics—such as advanced metrics, data verification methods, or new sustainability frameworks—your mentor can provide curated resources, templates, and further reading.

6. Develop a Clear ESG Roadmap

Collaborate with your mentor to build a step-by-step plan for embedding sustainability reporting practices across your organization. Define milestones, responsibilities, and a realistic timeline for achieving tangible results.

7. Enhance Stakeholder Communication

Learn how to present and defend your ESG disclosures effectively to boards, investors, regulators, and the public. Get advice on selecting the right metrics and crafting messages that resonate with key audiences.

8. Refine Data Collection and Validation

Discuss effective methods for gathering ESG data, supporting the verification process, and presenting it in line with recognised standards and best practices. This helps ensure credibility and consistency in your reporting.

9. Expand Your Professional ESG Skills

If you’re looking to advance your expertise or transition into a dedicated ESG role, your mentor can recommend courses, certifications, and professional networks that support your growth in this field.

10. Adapt the Curriculum to Meet Your Specific Needs

In addition to these key areas, you can work with your mentor to customise the course content so it fully aligns with your goals and current challenges. Whether you need to deepen your knowledge of a particular standard, address a unique industry concern, or focus on practical implementation steps, your mentor will help tailor the programme to ensure it meets your expectations and delivers tangible, relevant outcomes.
