The global investment and corporate community has realized that companies that do good in the world also do better in their business. Programs for corporate social responsibility (CSR) were all “nice to haves,” but now investors, consumers, and employees are demanding that companies make positive ESG (environmental, social, and governance) impacts and the game has changed. Positively contributing to society and the environment is now a “must have.” ESG frameworks have brought transparency, objectivity, and accountability to companies’ environmental, social, and governance impacts. But, ESG frameworks are numerous and confusing. Reporting standards are varied and difficult to navigate. And, the ESG landscape is changing rapidly.
According to the Harvard Business Review, there is an “ESG Reckoning” taking place. ESG is the No. 1 topic investors want to discuss with boards of directors. (PWC.) As of 2020, almost 90% of publicly traded companies and 67% of privately-owned companies had embarked on ESG initiatives. (NAVEX Global). Additionally, 88% of institutional investors believe that companies that prioritize ESG initiatives represent better opportunities for long-term returns than companies that do not. (Edelman)
Whether your company already has an ESG program or is thinking of developing one, this course will help you understand ESG, navigate the alphabet soup of the ESG world, and lead your company in establishing a high-impact ESG program.

What students say about the course:
-
“This is one of the best courses on Udemy. The instructor is very knowledgeable, her presentation style is engaging, there are a lot of helpful downloadable resources, and the “expert interviews” by ESG leaders in companies like Hewlett-Packard, VISA, etc. are as real as it gets. They are the leading internal practitioners and they know what they are talking about. The course is worth getting just for those interviews. Very well done!”

“Wonderful course, well explained, well guided and summarized so beautifully. Very helpful for a beginner to understand and implement ESG.”

The course takes a nuanced view of cultural complexities while implementing ESG programmes and the practical challenges, while emphasising on the positive direction in offers. Largely resting on some stellar interviews by Industry titans from different spheres of activity that gives an inside view of the past, present and future of ESG in organizations, interspersed with interesting lectures from Layli, this is truly a high value course offered at a very competitive price. Anyone interested in ESG should totally lap this up.”
