Why become an ESG expert?
Becoming an expert in ESG as part of a business or organisation can help to expand its potential greatly. Being able to confidently share your ESG knowledge allows for the rest of your team to begin their own learning journey into sustainability and ESG learning, which opens you up to fresh perspectives and ideas to help you and your team get one step closer towards your goals.
It can also improve the prospects and value of your business to investors, who are looking to invest in businesses that look towards a greener future. You may also see a boost in climate-focused followers and customers through solid actions built around ESG frameworks. These actions will also help to improve your reputation with existing customers, and show that you care about the future of the planet and your industry.
As an investor, having a solid idea of ESG will help you make better decisions in investing by being able to recognise where companies are making strong steps towards sustainability, and developing products that will have a positive and lasting impact.
As an individual, taking part in ESG learning courses can help you become more desirable to businesses and organisations. As attitudes shift towards climate change and sustainability, businesses and organisations are looking for intelligent and knowledgeable ESG experts that can help them make actionable plans, with reporting that investors and board members will understand.
This course is the second part of a series on ESG, with the first 6-part modular course, ESG Essentials, also available as the perfect starting point for teams new to ESG.
