Overview
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and climate change feature among the top three board priorities, according to the 2023 survey of the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD). As ESG takes centre-stage within the board agenda, HR leaders will be called upon to play a pivotal role in shaping the enterprise sustainability strategy. Therefore, it is imperative for Human Resource leaders to keep abreast of key sustainability topics as part of their professional development journey, and arm themselves with the specialised knowledge required to earn a “seat at the table” as a strategic business partner.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the two-day module, participants will be able to:
- Interpret internationally adopted ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and carbon-reporting standards such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) Scopes 1, 2 and 3
- Integrate the ESG agenda into talent management strategies and programmes such as office management, hiring, performance management, succession planning and rewards
- Develop a sustainability-centric brand-building and stakeholder communication strategy in partnership with their public relations/corporate marketing peers.

Leveraging on SMU’s distinctive pedagogy for interactive, discussion driven and thought provoking seminar-style teaching, we aim to provide our participants with the ability to translate the learning and insights into practice at the workplace. A variety of teaching methods such as experiential learning, role plays, case discussions, presentations, exercises and oral questioning will be employed by the programme’s faculty in the training sessions. There will also be an individual assessment at the end of every module which serve to assess a participant’s understanding of the subject matter.
Assessment
Participants have to meet a minimum attendance rate of 75% and have to complete all assessment(s) required by the course. Only upon meeting the minimum attendance and passing the assessment will participants be issued a Certificate of Completion.
Participants who fail the assessment will be given a chance for re-assessment at a fee of SGD100.00 (excluding prevailing GST). Each participant is allowed 1 re-assessment. The re-assessment has to be taken within 7 calendar days from the end of the course date. It will be held on a weekday specified by SMU Academy and conducted during office hours. Please note that re-assessment fees are not supported by SSG Funding.
Participants who meet the minimum attendance rate but do not achieve a pass for the assessment will be issued a Certificate of Participation.
Participants are required to bring their laptop to access the course materials, class exercises and individual assessment(s).
