Understanding Sustainability’s Business Impact to Organisations
The workshop aims to help companies understand the impact of the global shift towards sustainability to their businesses which includes identifying climate-related risks within their business value chain, emerging / new reporting and regulatory requirements and the impact of the changing customers’ sustainability requirements. While some businesses may be aware that they need to act and manage the risks, not all companies may be clear on how to go about their company’s green transition journey.
At the end of the programme, learners will be able to:
Recognise business benefits in embarking on ESG transformation.
Identify the related business functions to support the transformation.
Identify and design key sustainability job roles (eg. Head of ESG/ Sustainability or other related roles) within company that will help champion efforts to align their business objectives with ESG principles.
Companies are to complete the Business Impact Assessment (BIA) by B Lab. The BIA is a digital tool that can help measure, manage, and improve positive impact performance for environment, communities, customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders; receiving a minimum verified score of 80 points on the assessment is also the first step towards B Corp Certification.
Module 1: Fundamental of ESG
Environment, social, and governance or ESG issues are to be considered by business entities in their decisions because companies with a higher focus on sustainability are viewed as reliable and fundamentally sound.
Module 2: ESG Tools and Application
From sustainability reporting standards such as GRI, SASB, and CDP, to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, MSCI and B Corp Certification, learners may ask “why are there so many ESG tools out there?”, or “why should I use X when I already have Y?”. While all these tools can help the organisation implement ESG, understanding them and selecting the right combinations will help tremendously in the journey to be a good company.
Module 3: Carbon Measurement and Management
This module aims to help learners conduct materiality assessment, stakeholder approvals and generate reports based on standards chosen, using online assessment tools to generate and report ESG, including Carbon footprint computation.
Module 4: SDG Action Manager and the B Impact Assessment
Used by more than 150,000 businesses, the B Impact Assessment is a digital tool that can help measure, manage, and improve positive impact performance for environment, communities, customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders.
