COURSE OVERVIEW

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) refers to a set of environmental, social, and governance criteria used to evaluate a company’s sustainability practices and long-term value. ESG is often integrated into broader sustainability and risk management frameworks to guide strategy and decision-making. It helps businesses identify and manage risks and opportunities across areas such as climate impact, social responsibility, and corporate governance. By integrating ESG considerations into strategy and operations, organizations can improve long-term performance, build stakeholder trust, and enhance resilience.
