About the Course

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly important due to regulatory pressures, evolving markets, and the values-based preferences of stakeholders, including investors, consumers, and employees. As ESG reporting becomes mandatory in many parts of the world, no business can afford to be complacent about its responsibilities towards the environment and society. Organizations that fail to manage ESG effectively will face significant operational, reputational, and regulatory risks. IMD’s Sustainability for Business: ESG Fundamentals course, in partnership with Coursera, provides a comprehensive understanding of ESG principles and practices, which are integral to the broader concept of sustainability. Wherever you are in your career trajectory, you will gain valuable skills that will empower you to contribute more effectively to your organization’s initiatives or boost your prospects if you are seeking to transition to an ESG-related role. Even if ESG isn’t directly related to your current profession, understanding this critical area will broaden your knowledge and enhance your ability to make informed, responsible decisions. Throughout the course, you will gain insights from IMD’s expert faculty, as well as from CEOs and business leaders who have successfully incorporated ESG into their business practices and policies. The program also features an immersive AI-powered simulation game, the ESG Metamorphosis Game. By navigating complex and engaging scenarios involving environmental protection, cultural preservation, and corporate responsibility, you will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to lead sustainable practices in the real world. On completion of ESG Fundamentals, you will receive a workbook to guide you as you implement your learnings in your organization....

A fantastic course. I stepped into this knowing very little about ESG and have left feeling like I have solid foundations, which I can take with me and into my organisation. The main course was highly engaging, and the bonus materials were truly excellent. Lots of videos, interviews, and reading materials that helped deepen and contextualise my understanding. I also appreciated the different perspective we were shown throughout. Professors in accounting, leadership, strategy, all coming together to show the multifaceted nature of ESG. A must do course for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of ESG.

The professors I learned from during this course were remarkable for their skills and knowledge in their particular fields. Their tone, way of teaching, and conveying of any tough concepts are appreciated. The best part of the course is the interviews with some tempered radicals from a few well-known organisations around the globe. These interviews help deeper insights into the ESG field and how its transformations take shape in real life.

Great course, covering the fundamentals that have already inspired me to learn more. Because ESG isn't just about the 'E'; it's much, much broader. Oh, and having seven IMD faculty members in one course, wow.
