Who Should Attend

Overview

Many companies have mistakenly viewed sustainability reporting as the ultimate achievement. This perspective may stem from the rapid evolution of the sustainability reporting landscape, with regulators worldwide increasingly adopting it as a standard for both listed and non-listed large corporations.

However, sustainability reporting should be seen as a means to an end rather than the end goal itself. The true objective is to become more sustainable in all facets – environmentally, socially, and in compliance with regulations. As the saying goes, "what gets measured, gets managed." To effectively manage Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) related risks, one must first understand how to systematically identify, mitigate, and continuously monitor these risks. It's not just about managing risks; we're also keen on identifying emerging opportunities in this era of heightened climate awareness.

This course represents an important initial step in understanding how a robust risk management framework can help companies not only identify and manage ESG-related risks but also uncover opportunities that lie ahead in this ever-changing landscape.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the module, participants will be able to: 

  • Classify the role of risk management in the overall sustainability strategy and disclosure process
  • Illustrate the different type of climate related risks and opportunities
  • Differentiate how practitioners are disclosing their climate risk and opportunities

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
