About This Course

1. The module will equip participants with the skills to DEVELOP strategies to balance between their organisation's financial success and social responsibility, PLAN ESG pillars of sustainability within their organisational context, as well as IMPROVE on existing initiatives and MEASURE the impacts.
2. The module is meant for executives who have taken on sustainability as an additional responsibility, are interested to incorporate sustainability into their existing work or are planning to transition into a specialised sustainability-related role.
3. Sustainability is a fast-growing body of knowledge that cuts across all sectors, particularly sectors that have a substantive environmental or social impact. This first module of SUSS's Graduate Diploma in ESG provides a foundation in core sustainability concepts such as organisational resilience, risk management and dealing with trade-offs, thus helping industry to understand and implement corporate sustainability effectively.

What You'll Learn

This course examines the evolution of corporate sustainability and how it has been shaped by societal contexts and expectations. Students will learn about the functional benefits of sustainability for companies, such as organisational resilience and risk management. However, there are constraints and trade-offs, such as how best to deal with environmental externalities that are not priced into market transactions. Students will deep-dive into the increasing focus on corporate ESG disclosures and compliance, scrutinise the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) pillars and measure positive impact in a rigorous and transparent manner. Students will critically explore the need for growth in a market economy and how this could conflict with resource and ecological limits. To challenge the students’ thinking, the course will conclude with divergent perspectives on whether companies can save the world through addressing pressing environmental and social issues such as climate change and global inequality.
