Leading ESG and Sustainability

During this four-day business course, you will be given the opportunity to explore ESG and sustainability strategies from a 360-degree perspective, with emphasis on evolving investor preferences, regulatory context, and evidence-based research. Alongside expert insight from course lead Ismail Erturk, Senior Lecturer in Banking, you will take a holistic approach to developing ESG strategies which allow businesses to evaluate their performance effectively, whilst also responding to societal needs and avoiding sustainability box ticking exercises. As well as vast academic experience, Ismail has also undertaken various advisory work for companies and government institutions internationally. His research interests include purpose of the firm, financialisaton, corporate governance, cultural economy, green finance and ESG. Delivered face-to-face at Alliance Manchester Business School’s Executive Education centre, this course involves a range of interactive learning styles that connect theory with practice which ensures delegates finish the course with applied, up to date knowledge of ESG and sustainability. On the final day, there will be an opportunity for self-assessment and drawing together the key themes of the course and how to implement them within your organisation by presenting to the group and course lead for feedback. Upon successful completion of this short business course, participants will be awarded the Manchester Professional Certificate in Leading ESG and Sustainability and can work towards being awarded the Manchester Professional Diploma in Leadership by completing any four of our four-day short business courses from our extensive portfolio.
