The course blends interactive lectures, video content, and hands-on seminars. In seminars, you’ll act as experts, debating communication strategies, analysing company reports and presenting findings. These sessions sharpen both your analytical and presentation skills while encouraging collaboration and critical reflection. Whether you’re aiming for a career in business, policy, or research, this course will equip you with the insights and skills to navigate the complex landscape of sustainability reporting—and to contribute to shaping a more transparent, responsible, and sustainable future.
