With Martin Massey and Jose Hopkins ACA
Duration: Less than 3 hours

About The Course
ESG is now a major enterprise risk. Boards, regulators, and investors expect organisations to show how environmental, social, and governance exposures are actively managed within their risk frameworks.
Yet ESG often sits outside core risk processes, treated as a sustainability or reporting issue rather than a structured risk topic.
This 3-hour masterclass shows you how to integrate ESG risks into your ERM process and risk register, providing a practical method you can apply immediately.
You will leave with the ability to identify, assess, and report ESG risks in a structured, credible way - without wading through theory or strategy design.
