Course Overview
Global expectations for sustainability disclosures are evolving rapidly, and finance teams are increasingly responsible for producing reliable ESG information. The IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 standards provide a structured framework for organisations to disclose sustainability-related financial information and climate-related risks.
This course introduces the core principles behind these sustainability disclosure standards and explains how finance teams contribute to preparing structured ESG reporting. Participants learn how organisations connect sustainability risks and opportunities with financial performance and strategy.
Through mentor-led instruction and practical scenarios, learners explore disclosure structures, governance expectations, and data management practices required for effective sustainability reporting. By the end of the programme, participants will understand how finance teams support ESG disclosures aligned with IFRS sustainability standards.
