This course is designed for new graduates, employees, and professionals seeking to understand how ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting is adapted and implemented across different regions. It explores key regional frameworks, policies, and initiatives that guide ESG disclosures at the local and national levels—beyond the global standards.
