COURSE OVERVIEW
ESG or Sustainability Reporting is an important topic at this moment for every company that either creates reports to be compliant with regulations or because they believe it is necessary for other reasons. Even though many companies are producing an ESG report or statement every year, there is still much confusion about the topic and most reports can be improved. Also the reporting landscape is constantly changing with new requirements, regulations and standards being published regularly. Both new national and international regulations need to be reflected in the ESG report.
This three-day programme focuses on providing an in-depth understanding of ESG/Sustainability Reporting in general. It focusses not only on the latest requirements of BURSA Malaysia but also goes into depth on reporting in accordance with other standards such as the GRI Standards, the TCFD guidelines, the IFRS Standards and the concepts of UN SDGs and Integrated Reporting. After this program, the participants will have a clear understanding of how to prepare an ESG/Sustainability statement or report and how to apply any of the local or global standards.
The main topics that will be featured are:
- Latest BURSA Requirements (2023 version)
- GRI Standards (2021 Version)
- IFRS S1 and S2 (2023)
- UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Integrated Reporting
- Other Global Standards (IIB, SASB, TCFD)
The objective of the training is to give the participants practical knowledge and skills in contrast to only having the theory presented to them. Also the focus of the program is to be able to create your own sustainability report instead of being able to analyse reports by others.
CERTIFICATION
At the end of the program, the participant will receive a certificate of attendance and will be sent a link to an online exam. After successfully completing the exam, the participant will receive a new certificate indicating that the participant successfully completed and passed the ESG Reporting Practitioner exam.
