Course Overview
Sustainability reporting is becoming an essential responsibility for finance and compliance teams as organisations disclose environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information to stakeholders. These disclosures must be supported by reliable metrics, structured documentation, and strong internal controls.
This course introduces the practical responsibilities of a sustainability reporting analyst, including understanding ESG metrics, collecting and validating data, and preparing structured disclosures. Participants explore how finance-led reporting processes ensure transparency, accuracy, and consistency across sustainability reports.
Through mentor-led instruction and practical scenarios, learners examine reporting workflows, control frameworks, and documentation approaches that help organisations prepare audit-ready sustainability disclosures. By the end of the programme, participants will understand how finance teams support credible ESG reporting practices.
