Course Overview
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires organisations to produce structured, transparent, and audit-ready ESG disclosures. This shift places new demands on finance, sustainability, and compliance teams to design robust reporting processes aligned with ESRS standards.
This programme provides hands-on guidance in applying ESRS requirements, conducting double materiality assessments, and designing disclosures. Participants learn how to map value chains, gather data, and structure ESG reports that meet regulatory expectations.
Delivered as a mentor-led programme using practical scenarios, this course equips participants with the tools and frameworks needed to build compliant ESG reporting processes and prepare for assurance and audit.
