ESG Reporting and Responsible Sourcing
Four reporting frameworks, one data set, and a supply chain that has to support it
Covers the major sustainability reporting frameworks including GRI, SASB, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards and the Indian BRSR, how to run one data collection process that serves all of them, and the responsible sourcing and circular economy commitments that reporting exposes.
This course sits alongside our Sustainability & ESG consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.
