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 and helps businesses identify and manage risks and opportunities across areas such as climate impact, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
