Assessment: Take the role of an ESG analyst

The course assumes you are familiar with basic concepts in sustainability reporting (e.g., materiality, structure of the ESRS), so we’ve graded it as Intermediate level in our directory.

The format is a series of pre-recorded videos, along with further reading lists for each module, and ‘test your understanding’ quizzes. Passing the final online assessment will grant you the Emissions Reporting Navigator certificate.
