About this course
ESG and climate risk are now a central focus of long-term business strategy, requiring finance professionals to understand how environmental and social factors affect financial performance and disclosures.
This self-paced online course provides a practical foundation in how ESG risks emerge, how they are categorised, and how they influence financial decision making and reporting requirements.
This course has been developed from the 'Understand and translate ESG and climate risk ' chapter of our ESG Reporting for Accountants masterclass – previously available as an on-demand video.
