ESG and Sustainability Reporting (CSRD, ISSB, GRI) Corporate Training

The program can use your current procedures, workplace scenarios and organizational priorities to make ESG & Sustainability Reporting (CSRD, ISSB, GRI) relevant. Share applicable policies and known challenges during scoping. For regulated topics, the jurisdiction and relevant obligations must also be established; training supports capability and does not replace specialist legal advice. View the curriculum.

The core audience is finance, sustainability, and reporting teams. Managers and other control owners can join adapted discussions on responsibilities, escalation and oversight. Separate activities or cohorts help distinguish awareness, operational execution and specialist assurance responsibilities.

There is no minimum group size. For live virtual delivery, 20–25 participants per batch is preferred; in-person batches have a maximum of 30. Smaller teams can train together, while larger rollouts are divided into cohorts so every participant has time to practise and receive feedback.

Yes. A pilot cohort can be scoped before a wider rollout. Agree the audience, priority skills, delivery format and success measures in the proposal, then use the assessment results and operational feedback to refine subsequent cohorts. Pilot pricing and any later rollout are agreed separately.

Yes. The scenarios can reflect your organization’s activities, control owners and approved procedures. For ESG & Sustainability Reporting (CSRD, ISSB, GRI), that means using relevant cases in which participants build a double materiality matrix for a sample company. Confirm the jurisdictions, operating boundaries and confidentiality requirements during scoping; training does not replace legal or regulatory advice.

Onsite, live virtual and hybrid delivery can be planned around working hours, shifts and time zones. An offsite format can also be discussed. The proposal confirms session length, breaks, delivery location and any venue, travel or equipment requirements so the program fits operational commitments. Compare delivery formats to choose a setup that fits your team.

A multi-region rollout can use a shared learning framework with locally relevant examples and cohort schedules. Share the countries, time zones and languages you need when requesting a proposal. Language availability, facilitator coverage and local adaptations are agreed before dates are confirmed.

Engagement is built through relevant cases, facilitated discussion, short practice tasks and feedback rather than presentation alone. For ESG & Sustainability Reporting (CSRD, ISSB, GRI), participants can examine decisions connected to CSRD and the ESRS Framework. Virtual delivery can use smaller breakout activities so each participant contributes and the facilitator can observe application.

Confidentiality expectations, participation boundaries and appropriate handling of sensitive cases are agreed before delivery. An NDA can be put in place, and examples can be anonymized. Participants should not be required to disclose personal experiences or confidential business details to demonstrate understanding of ESG & Sustainability Reporting (CSRD, ISSB, GRI).

The organizational aim is to coordinate sustainability disclosure through traceable data and controlled review. Useful workplace measures include data-owner coverage, unsupported disclosure claims, assurance findings and reporting rework, assessed against an agreed baseline and review period. Results depend on workplace application and other operational factors, so the program does not guarantee a fixed improvement.

The included pre-training assessment establishes a baseline in distinguishing relevant reporting frameworks, recognizing materiality decisions and tracing a disclosure to its data source. A needs discussion identifies the roles and situations that require the most practice. The assessment informs the learning plan rather than assuming all participants need the same depth. For a broader view of the learning needs to prioritize across roles, request a training needs analysis.

Participants practise how to run an assurance-readiness review on a sample disclosure pack, then identify where the approach fits their own responsibilities. Managers can reinforce the learning through agreed observation criteria and routine reviews. The workplace aim is to coordinate sustainability disclosure through traceable data and controlled review; any Edstellar-led follow-up beyond the program is a separately scoped paid service. Training supports capability and does not guarantee regulatory compliance or replace legal advice.

The course covers CSRD and the ESRS Framework, ISSB IFRS S1, S2 and the GRI Standards and Reporting Data Systems and Assurance Readiness. These learning outcomes can be aligned to your competency framework by defining what participants should demonstrate and how that evidence will be assessed. The same criteria can support consistent development conversations across teams and locations. View the learning outcomes.

The program uses instructor-led practice in which participants build a double materiality matrix for a sample company. Further exercises ask them to build a double-materiality assessment, draft climate disclosures and review XBRL and assurance-readiness evidence. The work comes together in a draft sustainability disclosure and assurance-readiness pack. Feedback addresses the decisions and evidence, not participation alone.

Yes. Practical assessment examines whether the disclosure pack connects applicable requirements, materiality, data ownership and supporting evidence. Pre- and post-training assessments and the post-training report are included in the package price. The report records learning progress; it is not a regulatory approval or guarantee of organizational compliance.

Participants take away the draft sustainability disclosure pack, materiality work and assurance-readiness findings. These outputs support workplace review and application. Wider internal redistribution or repeated delivery should be requested in advance or covered by an agreed Train-the-Trainer arrangement.

Before training, managers identify the recurring workplace situations and agree what good application will look like. Afterward, they can assign data owners and review checkpoints, challenge unsupported statements and track assurance-readiness actions. Any Edstellar-led coaching or retrospective beyond the program is a separately scoped paid service.

The post-training report can help prioritize materiality assessment, climate disclosures, data controls or a paid assurance-readiness review workshop. Additional learning is selected for the gaps your organization needs to close, with scope and pricing agreed separately. Train-the-Trainer is also available when you need internal facilitators to reinforce the subject across more teams.

Pre- and post-training assessments and a post-training report are included in the package price. For workplace evaluation, your organization can track data-owner coverage, unsupported disclosure claims, assurance findings and reporting rework. Agree the baseline, data owners and review period before training; a financial ROI calculation also needs the program cost and a defensible estimate of benefits. Changes in business performance cannot be attributed to training alone.

Customized follow-up support, coaching or a retrospective session can be arranged as a paid extension, with clear objectives, timing and deliverables. Free post-training trainer follow-up is not included. Train-the-Trainer is available across subjects based on your requirements, helping internal facilitators reinforce the learning consistently.

After confirmation, Edstellar aligns the objectives, audience, scenarios, assessment criteria and logistics with your organization. Participants complete the agreed instructor-led learning and practice, followed by post-training assessment. The organization receives a report to inform continued application and further development priorities.
