Sustainability goes beyond the paradigm of mere environment. To understand and internalise its complexity, it is now more than ever important to not only comply, but report (voluntary or otherwise) on the ESG parameters. Mere radical rethinking of organisations also needs validation by other stakeholders.

All India Management Association (AIMA) in collaboration with Sustainable Advancements, in its benchmarked programme on 'ESG Compliance and Reporting: Empowering professionals to drive Sustainable Change' will build your capacity to understand the various nuances of ESG reporting using a multi-pronged pedagogy that facilitates internalisation of the concepts, both theoretically and practically.

This two-day deep dive programme arranged in a workshop mode brings in expertise from academics and practitioners alike, to provide exposure on two broad components:

• Theory: Gain in-depth knowledge on critical ESG reporting formats at the international and national levels through intensive drills.
• Practice: Receive guidance and support to effectively apply the acquired knowledge and develop practical skills that can be implemented in real-world scenarios, making them transferable to different contexts.

You will experience classroom sessions led by acclaimed experts and engage in peer learning; attend online conferences featuring international authorities; gain exposure to and analyse case studies, research papers, and industry analysis; participate in debates, discussions, and quizzes and access self-learning materials to enhance your knowledge.

Upon completion, you will be equipped to implement your learnings, with a verified Digital Certificate, jointly conferred by All India Management Association.

The programme is designed for practitioners/ aspiring practitioners who are interested in building a comprehensive understanding of ESG Reporting as a business imperative. It is especially relevant for roles that include, but are not limited to:

• Top Management Teams (TMTs) responsible for business growth and strategic initiatives, aiming to drive sustainability transformations.
