Course Overview
The Sustainability Leadership for Boards & Executive Teams programme by ESG Institute is a rigorous one-day training designed specifically for board members, executive committee leaders, and C-suite executives across all sectors and geographies. While no formal certification exam is tied to this course, it directly prepares participants for strategic accountability in ESG governance, targeting roles such as non-executive directors, chief sustainability officers, and general counsel. With 78% of global institutional investors now factoring ESG governance into board evaluations, this course equips senior leaders with the frameworks needed to meet regulatory, investor, and stakeholder expectations. Participants gain practical knowledge on materiality, global disclosure standards like ISSB, GRI, and TCFD, and sector-specific risks, ensuring they can govern sustainability with the same rigor as financial performance.
Participants engage with real-world tools and reporting frameworks including ISSB/IFRS S1 and S2, TCFD, TNFD, and GRI standards, tailored to their jurisdiction and sector. The hands-on component takes place in a collaborative workshop environment where boards and executive teams jointly develop a 90-day action roadmap, identifying three priority actions across governance, disclosure, and strategy. This interactive session ensures that participants not only understand ESG risks—such as physical climate exposure, transition risks, and social accountability—but also configure a concrete plan with assigned owners and quick wins before leaving the room.
