Series Overview
NOTE: Part I and Part II of this course are designed to complement each other. Part I lays the foundation, and Part II (March 25, 2025) focuses on communicating the roadmap developed in the first session. To get the most out of the experience, participation in Part I is highly recommended before attending Part II.
Based on popular demand, our ESG Roadmap course is back in 2025! However, this time we will be conducting the course in an abbreviated 2-part series focusing on building the ESG program as well as reporting and communicating key sustainability goals and initiatives.
Part I will focus on developing the components of an ESG roadmap, while Part II will focus on communicating the program in a credible fashion.
Each class will be structured with a 45-minute presentation, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. We will also host a one-hour interactive workshop where you can bring your ESG roadmaps and drafts for review with our leading expert for feedback. You will have an opportunity to network and meet other like-minded individuals at similar points in the ESG / sustainability journeys while also having the opportunity to build out a robust roadmap under the guidance of a leading ESG expert.
Attendees will receive 2 Professional Development Hours (PDH) per session, upon completion.
Learning Objectives

This course is designed as a mini accelerator program for those individuals who may not have the budget to hire a traditional consultancy and are lean on team resources but require some expert guidance in building the sustainability program and objectives for their respective organizations.
