About This Course
This course is aligned to ACRA’s Sustainability Reporting Body of Knowledge (SR BOK).
The [SFGW-SR] ISCA Sustainability Professional Certification equips professionals with the knowledge and applied capabilities to prepare, interpret and communicate sustainability and climate-related disclosures in today’s evolving regulatory landscape. Aligned to ACRA’s Sustainability Reporting Body of Knowledge (SR BOK), as endorsed by ACRA, the course provides coverage across key areas including IFRS S1, IFRS S2, GHG Protocol, governance, and the value of sustainability reporting.
As sustainability reporting becomes increasingly integral to corporate governance, risk management and business decision-making, organisations need practitioners who can apply reporting requirements effectively, strengthen disclosure quality and support credible sustainability outcomes beyond compliance.
The objective of this course is to equip working professionals with the knowledge and applied skills required to support the preparation of sustainability reports. Learners will develop an understanding of key sustainability reporting requirements and concepts, including IFRS S1, IFRS S2, GHG Protocol, and governance considerations and apply these concepts to practical reporting scenarios to demonstrate competency in sustainability reporting.
