Master the essential principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices that are reshaping the global business landscape. Our ESG Fundamentals course is designed for professionals to rapidly acquire the ability to understand the core fundamentals in an Australian business context and how these factors drive long-term value creation and influence investment decisions.

In this course, we expose you to the breadth of the ESG ecosystem — why it matters, and how you can engage with it meaningfully. At a time when business risks are increasing, ESG frameworks can prove useful for evaluating compliance across governance and reporting requirements. Robust ESG programmes also contribute to a more dynamic economy and a stronger social compact.

As a CEDA Lead member, Swinburne University is committed to supporting better policy outcomes through impactful ESG learning.
