Student Testimonial


“I have found the course invaluable and the learnings are put into practice in my day-to-day role. The insights David and his team have on the ESG reporting landscape and the method in which they teach are excellent. Each module is carefully designed to bring you on a journey through the current ESG reporting landscape, focusing on best practice, through to upcoming regulation and upcoming requirements.
