Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our training courses

No prior sustainability or CSR background is required. The course begins with the foundational concepts and principles of sustainability and CSR before advancing to governance frameworks, strategic design, ESG integration, and reporting standards making it accessible to delegates from strategy, governance, operations, communications, and general management backgrounds who want to develop a structured, comprehensive sustainability capability.  

Day 3 focuses on strategic CSR design and implementation covering how to develop a CSR framework aligned with organisational objectives, how to identify community and social priorities that define the most impactful focus areas, and how to design employee engagement, supply chain responsibility, and social impact measurement programmes. Delegates develop a practical CSR strategy design capability that goes beyond philanthropy to create structured, measurable, and strategically coherent CSR programmes.  

Sustainability reporting is covered within Day 4 — examining the major reporting frameworks and standards that organisations use to disclose ESG performance, how to structure sustainability reports that meet stakeholder expectations, and how to communicate sustainability achievements in ways that build rather than undermine credibility. Delegates develop the reporting capability to produce disclosures that are accurate, balanced, and aligned with recognised standards — demonstrating the transparency that stakeholders increasingly demand.  

ESG frameworks are addressed across the course — introduced on Day 1 in the context of sustainability and CSR foundations and developed through Days 2 and 4 in governance, performance management, and reporting contexts. Delegates develop a working understanding of what ESG frameworks require across environmental, social, and governance dimensions, how they align with sustainability reporting standards, and how ESG performance is increasingly used by investors, regulators, and stakeholders to evaluate organisational credibility and long-term value.  

Sustainability performance management is addressed within Day 4 — covering how to develop meaningful CSR and sustainability KPIs, how to implement performance management systems that track sustainability outcomes reliably, and how to collect, monitor, and analyse sustainability data effectively. Delegates develop the measurement literacy to evaluate their organisation's sustainability performance credibly — and to use performance data to drive continuous improvement rather than simply satisfy reporting obligations.  

Corporate governance, anti-corruption, and compliance are addressed within Day 2 — examining the principles of accountable governance, how ethical leadership is established and maintained, what transparency frameworks require in terms of disclosure and stakeholder communication, and how anti-corruption and compliance obligations are integrated into governance structures. Delegates develop the governance awareness to evaluate their organisation's accountability frameworks against international best practice standards.
