Description:
We offer sustainability reporting, ESG, sustainable finance and climate-risk training worldwide, helping professionals and organisations develop practical skills for reporting, decision-making and implementation. Our courses cover three major sets of standards within the sustainability disclosure landscape: the GRI Standards, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
Our programmes support sustainability and ESG professionals, finance and accounting teams, risk managers, consultants, auditors, public-sector professionals and educators. Learning opportunities range from foundational courses for students and early-career professionals to specialised training for experienced practitioners, organisational teams and senior leaders.
Understand the sustainability disclosure landscape
How do GRI, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, and ESRS relate to your organisation’s reporting needs? Our training helps learners understand impact materiality, financial materiality and double materiality, connecting these perspectives with practical reporting processes. Courses address stakeholder engagement, human rights and sector reporting, material information, climate disclosures, digital reporting and preparation for external assurance—helping participants move from understanding standards to applying them in their work.
Prepare for professional qualifications
Our GRI training portfolio comprises 12 licensed courses, available individually or as part of the GRI Certified Sustainability Professional and GRI Certified ESRS Sustainability Professional pathways. Live, instructor-led learning combines licensed materials, practical reporting challenges and opportunities for discussion and questions.
Our IFRS FSA® Credential Level I and Level II exam preparation connects sustainability disclosure with financial analysis. Level I develops knowledge of disclosure principles, practices and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. Level II focuses on analysing sustainability information and understanding its relationship with financial performance and valuation. Preparation includes practice questions, case-based exercises and guidance tailored to the learning format.
Our GARP Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) exam preparation develops knowledge of climate science, sustainable finance, physical and transition risks, risk measurement, scenario analysis, nature-related risks, net-zero strategies and transition planning. Through structured study, practical applications and guidance from SCR Certificate Holders, participants prepare for the examination while building knowledge relevant to strategy, governance and risk management.

As a global partner in sustainability education and capacity building, we offer programmes to individuals, teams and organisations worldwide. Delivery options include live online, face-to-face and self-paced learning, depending on the programme, alongside tailored in-house training at organisations’ premises worldwide.
