QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS? WE HAVE THE ANSWERS!

Q - WHO IS THE PROGRAMME AIMED AT & WHAT LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED?
A - The programme is designed to cater to a wide range of levels of ESG/Sustainability knowledge and experience, from novice through to professional.

Q - WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED OUR ESG STRATEGY SO HOW WILL THIS COURSE BENEFIT ME?
A - The course will do deep dives into strategy, helping participants to find out whether or not their strategy is fit for purpose in addressing the company’s most material ESG issues. We will examine the trigger for the strategy, the suitability and order of the strategy’s operational steps and tests on the strategy’s targets to see whether they give you what you really want or need? We will look into the measurement and reporting of strategic targets, with a strong focus on communicating for success. We will also cover how to adapt your strategy to changing regulations and operating conditions, including how to deal with difficult decisions.
