Directors need to act now to recognise sustainability as a fundamental element of their stewardship and fiduciary role within a company. Sustainability is central to corporate competitiveness and a company’s continued ability to operate.

Consistent with their fiduciary duties the company directors must provide their investors with greater transparency into how the company is addressing environmental and social trends, including meeting changes in stakeholder expectations.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (‘ESG’) concerns, are increasingly positioned at the top of board agendas and challenges, especially at the most progressive companies.

Areas covered include:

What a board member needs to know about sustainability, based on the international standards and frameworks.
The ESG agenda and what it means for boards - with guest speakers drawn from Chapter Zero and Willis Towers Watson.
ESG threats and opportunities - the risk, assurance and reporting cycle with consideration of the corporate risk profile and assessing the bigger picture; Assurance mapping to get the best view of how ESG risks are being tackled; The effective use of monitoring and reporting – moving from messaging to living your values.

Learning outcomes:

Consideration of the board level input needed to the identification and management of the ESG risks posed by fast moving environmental and societal developments.
How to gauge and deal with changing stakeholder expectations.
The ability to integrate ESG risks into the broader Enterprise Risk Management practices.
How to promote measurement and disclosure of meaningful ESG information which enables management and the board to assess the overall resource needs, effective capital allocation and the resilience and competitive advantage needed by the company.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

Organisations will have the choice to run our in-house courses online or in-person.

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.
