Description

Course overview

The government and customers are beginning to expect more from businesses than just the chase of profits. Businesses must increasingly respond to the expectations of their stakeholders, including customers, investors, the community, society, and the environment, about their efforts to be sustainable.

Understand how Environment, Social and Gvoernance (ESG) affects a company and the opportunities it presents in order to be a change catalyst. Discover the changes that must be made and how to close the sustainability gap.

Learn sought-after leadership techniques for sustainability that can help you manage climate risk, promote ESG integration, and provide long-term value for your shareholders and society.

You must comprehend the legal framework, political instruments, global agreements, and business’s role in establishing a zero-carbon economy. Organisations are also embracing and integrating sustainability into their operations to be in line with the Singapore Exchange’s ‘comply or explain’ ruling, or mitigate the impact of the upcoming carbon tax. You will also develop the competency to recommend ways in which a corporation’s governance can embed sustainability.

Preparing Professionals and Businesses for a Sustainable Future

Globally, businesses are recognising the opportunities and benefits of adopting corporate sustainability. The emerging green sector is poised for growth in years to come and is increasingly being regarded as a sector with job opportunities in areas such as renewable energy. To take on jobs in this sector, it is important that its workers be equipped with the relevant skills. Equip yourself with the right skills to take advantage of career opportunities in the green sector.

Career Opportunities

Jobs in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sector surged 257% in Singapore over the previous three years, from April 2019 to April 2022, as corporations and organisations prioritise addressing climate change (Indeed Singapore).

According to a statement from the international employment portal Indeed, the biggest spike in demand happened between April 2021 and April 2022, when job posts increased by 95% as opposed to the previous year’s 75% growth. The increase in job openings partly correlated with the February 2021 release of Singapore’s Green Plan, which details the steps to make the economy more sustainable, invest in clean energy, and increase the number of environmentally conscious careers.
