From esg buzzwords to business impact: upskilling teams for real-world application
at a glance
challenges
general topic understanding
Teams lacked shared language or consistent understanding of ESG terms, standards, or expectations.
relevance to roles
Employees did not see how ESG related to their individual roles or how it connected to their company strategy.
reporting vs. operations
A disconnect between ESG reporting requirements and day-to-day operational decision-making.
outcomes
improved ESG fluency across teams
With a consistent understanding of key terms, standards, and expectations.
clearer role relevance
Helping employees connect ESG to their daily responsibilities and broader business goals.
stronger operational alignment
Enabling more accurate, meaningful contributions to ESG processes and disclosures.
As sustainability becomes integral to business performance, teams across departments need more than awareness, they need the knowledge and tools to apply ESG principles in their day-to-day roles.
We designed and delivered a series of tailored ESG training sessions for staff at a gas company to build relevant and foundational ESG knowledge, understand the regulatory drivers for this topic area, and link key ESG issues directly to operational impact within their company and more broadly within their industry.
objectives
To improve cross-functional ESG literacy across the business and build staff engagement in the company’s materiality assessment, reporting obligations, and broader sustainability goals.
