About this course
In today’s dynamic business landscape, organisations of all sizes and sectors need to prepare sustainability-related information. This course builds on ACCA’s well-received Sustainability Reporting Guide to navigate practitioners through the eight stages of the reporting cycle, equipping you to meet sustainability reporting demands effectively. Additionally, you can choose to explore the implementation requirements of the first two ISSB standards (IFRS S1, IFRS S2) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) at pivotal points in the cycle.
This course has been designed for finance professionals involved in reporting high-quality sustainability-related information, but may also be relevant to practitioners in other functions. You should be familiar with the key sustainability issues, metrics and practices affecting your organisation, as the course will build on this foundational sustainability knowledge. If you are at the start of your sustainability journey, we recommend that you complete ACCA's Certificate in Sustainability for Finance before taking this course.
