Overview
There has been a growing focus on sustainable business practices and transparent ESG reporting.

Additionally, a growing number of lenders and investors have incorporated sustainability related pre-requisites on corporations who require funding.
This one-day course aims to equip the participants with a good understanding and working knowledge of applying the current sustainability, climate and greenhouse gas reporting standards. Participants will have hands-on exercises in identification of material ESG topics, climate-related risks/ opportunities and transition plan, and greenhouse gas calculations.
Standards cover include United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD Recommendations), Greenhouse Gas Protocol, IFRS S1, IFRS S2, and relevant Singapore regulations for SGX listed and non-listed companies.
