Leading Change:
Your Journey into ESG Proficiency

Businesses are grappling with a shortage of skills to effectively address the challenges in the evolving landscape of ESG. Acquiring the necessary skills for this leadership role, driven by the urgency of regulatory compliance, stakeholder pressure and investor demands, has become a priority.

In Empower Element’s training “ESG Fundamentals: Mastering ESG Reporting, Compliance and GHG Accounting”, we ensure that you obtain the knowledge, skills, and resourcefulness necessary to work with ESG in practice. So you can better support your organization in working towards meeting ESG requirements while advancing social, environmental and economic sustainability.

The training has been co-created with our trainer, Chi Nguyen, who is an ESG consultant and sustainability professional of 12 years, in collaboration with aspiring ESG practitioners to ensure that we meet your needs as well as those of mandatory ESG requirements that companies are facing.

Here’s what you’ll learn

  • The history of ESG, how it evolved and where it stands today
  • How to navigate, differentiate and when to choose between ESG standards, frameworks, guidelines, principles, and rating agencies
  • Understanding the rational, motivations and politics behind corporate ESG disclosures
  • Greenhouse Gas data points: how to collect and calculate scope 1, 2 & 3
  • Insights into the ESG reporting process, its structure and challenges
  • Identify and develop material climate-related risks and opportunities within the TCFD framework

Each training day is designed as a combination of hands-on exercises, practical industry insights into working with ESG and interactive discussions between the trainer and the participants. The highlight of the training is our in-person visit to a local company so you can practice on-site data collection skills, essential for your next ESG report.

Who should enrol?

Students and recent graduates aiming to apply for jobs with ESG tasks and wish to show employers foundational applied ESG knowledge and skillset

Entry level / junior ESG / sustainability consultants who have been trying to navigate ESG but feel stuck or overwhelmed, and

Working professionals who would like to expand their skill set and meet the increasing demand in conducting ESG reports for their company or clients.

Here’s what our alumni say:

I cannot recommend this training enough. It not only expanded my knowledge but also empowered me to become a catalyst for positive change in my workplace and community. If you’re looking to become a sustainability leader armed with the latest frameworks and data skills, this course is an absolute must.
I recently had the privilege of participating in an exceptional Sustainability Training Course that truly exceeded my expectations. This comprehensive program delved deep into the intricate world of sustainability frameworks and data management, equipping me with invaluable knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
Chi was great and taught a lot of good tricks and overall knowledge and the slides are a gold mine for future reference!
What truly set this course apart was its meticulous focus on data setup and management. We were taught how to collect, analyze, and interpret sustainability data effectively, enabling us to drive meaningful change within our organizations. The hands-on exercises and real-world case studies were particularly enlightening, giving us practical experience in working with sustainability datasets.
I would recommend it, definitely! ESG is quite an abstract concept and courses on the topic are usually very expensive. The course had a reasonable price and provided a solid basis for understanding What ESG is and the most important aspects related to it – like what a report should include and insight into the most used frameworks used.
When applying to jobs in the private sector in sustainability I think it helps to know about ESG and how companies work with sustainability in practice and what type of data e.g. that is included and measured. It has made me more interested in pursuing a career within sustainability reporting, as I now know what it actually is about.
