ESG Institute

the ESG INSTITUTE®

a GLOBAL Environmental, Social and governance KNOWLEDGE REPOSITORY

We are driven by the vision to create an international online Environmental, Social and Governance knowledge portal managed by leading governance practitioners for the purpose of providing globally acclaimed awareness, education and training journeys.

We aim to become the primary global resource for ESG knowledge and training.

Warren Buffet coined the saying, "When the tide goes out you can see who's swimming naked."

The global pandemic has exposed the full extent of social inequalities, food insecurity, environmental challenges and poor governance internationally. Never before has sustainable development and responsible investment been more important.

Our Process

We utilise a wide range of media channels for the purposes of generating ESG content via discussions, presentations, podcasts, workshops and publications, utilising and leveraging both internal resources and capacity as well as external resources derived from formal and informal international associations and collaborations.

CONTENT

Presentations and workshops on social media are optimised to produce multiple data content. This includes video, podcasts, course-work and articles which are all stored in the members' library and applied in bespoke online training (including CPD points) and short courses.

eSG gAZETTE

ESG news and articles are published monthly in the ESG Gazette for members, and converted into published handbooks and training guidelines.

eXPERTS

In addition to the decades of expertise brought into the ESG Institute by its founding members, well known international academics, consultants and professional advisers will co-present workshops and presentations and their knowledge content will be available to members in the library.

mEMBERSHIP

ESG Institute members are granted premium access to the knowledge library, ESG Gazette, discounts on workshops, presentations and conferences, talks and courses for CPD point and certification.
