ESG TRAINING: WHY SUSTAINABILITY TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL FOR COMPANIES
Companies have long recognised the need for timely, sustainable transformation. This is not only required by European regulations, but also for risk management, regular monitoring of ecological and social factors is indispensable.
Furthermore, the shift towards sustainability is a prerequisite for being and remaining attractive as an employer. Overall, it is already important to three out of four respondents that sustainability is a high priority for their (potential) employer, according to the study by Stepstone and the Handelsblatt Research Institute.
However, the challenge of adapting to climate change and transforming their business and processes in a sustainable way is more complex than expected for many companies. Why? Because large parts of the workforce do not have the necessary knowledge and awareness of sustainability. With targeted ESG training in the company, this can be changed.
Sustainability training, often called ESG training (ESG stands for environment, social and governance), is an educational programme that sharpens understanding of the connections between nature, people and business, cultivates a view of the future, and enables and accelerates the implementation of ESG principles within organisations.
1. In the environmental field
In the environmental theme, participants focus on the environmental impact of their company’s operations, as well as the impact that the rapidly changing environment could have on their company’s resilience. Current mega drivers such as biodiversity loss and ongoing climate change with their ecological consequences on raw material security, water and energy balance or waste play a significant role that could affect a company’s development.
2. In the social field
In the area of social issues, training addresses the company’s impact on people and communities, from human rights, labour practices and diversity to inclusion, community engagement and employee wellbeing. Secondly, the trainings address global inequalities, legal and democratic crises, future migration and demographic developments.
3. In the area of governance
This looks at the systems and processes that influence the decision-making and actions of the organisation. For example, diversity in the boardroom, transparency of business practices, values and ethics in day-to-day business, risk management and also compliance with legal requirements are examined in detail.
The aim is to support them in transforming their previously purely economically driven actions into sustainable yet successful ones.
