ESG Academy

How to achieve environmental, social and governance goals

Become a proficient ESG specialist

Sustainability – or ‘ESG’ in modern parlance: environmental, social and governance – is high on the political, social and corporate agenda. And it will become even more important in the years to come. The growing risks of climate change and the rise of national and international regulation are fuelling the urgency of ESG transformation. Organisations worldwide are implementing essential changes to ensure that ESG is firmly embedded in their strategies, processes and cultures. Moreover, they are including ESG in their accounting and reporting processes, stimulated by regulations like the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

The ESG Academy at Amsterdam Business School provides you with a firm grasp of ESG fundamentals, complete with proficiency in ESG accounting, reporting, auditing and assurance. If you are passionate about ESG and aspire to make a positive impact, our programme is your ideal choice.
