ESG training built for finance teams.
A missed ESG disclosure rarely shows up as a line item. It shows up later, as a stalled tender, a lender’s question, a number nobody in the room can trace back to source. It builds the skill to trace that number back to source before someone asks for it.
"The number in the sustainability report is only as strong as finance’s ability to show where it came from."
Lenders, investors and tender panels are starting to ask for the trail, not just the total.
Practical ESG skills for the job this team already does.
Not a general ESG primer. Starts from the numbers finance already owns and works outward.
Tracing figures to source
How to build an audit trail for ESG-linked figures, the way you already do for financial ones.
Reading frameworks like a finance function
What IFRS S1 & S2 and the GHG Protocol actually require in numbers finance can work with, not policy language.
Handling the questions that come later
Preparing for the lender, investor or tender question that arrives months after the report is published.
Where ESG risk shows up in the numbers
Spotting cost and risk exposure that sustainability reporting surfaces but finance actually owns.
Before you start.
No. Finance keeps doing what it already does: tracing figures, building audit trails. This points that same discipline at ESG-linked numbers specifically.
No. It prepares your team to produce numbers that hold up under that review. It doesn’t replace the reviewer.
A general course explains the frameworks. This one hands finance a way to trace an ESG-linked figure back to its source, the same discipline already applied to every other number on the books.
Finance managers and analysts responsible for figures that feed into sustainability reporting, tenders, or lender and investor questions.
Give finance a trail that holds up when someone finally asks.
