Overview

This 3-day programme, targeting Insurance, Technology, and Real Estate professionals, integrates key elements of sustainability reporting, carbon accounting, impact measurement, and risk management. It aims to empower learners to spearhead sustainable practices within their organisations.

The programme emphasises both meeting regulatory standards and capturing the wider impact of activities on society and the environment. Through hands-on practical exercises, which include mock sustainability reporting, hypothetical carbon accounting, case study-based impact measurement, and risk assessments, learners gain real-world experience. Upon completion, participants will be equipped with an array of skills to manage and report on their organisation's sustainability initiatives.
