Introduction
There is a growing demand for companies in today’s business environment to produce sustainability reports that are transparent, reliable, and globally comparable. Investors, lenders, and other stakeholders in the financial markets are relying on these reports to make critical decisions.
As the green momentum for climate action intensifies, companies that can demonstrate through their reporting based on globally recognised standards that they are ahead in their decarbonisation journeys, stand to benefit from access to new markets, customers, and financing.
In line with these developments and Singapore’s mandate on climate reporting, Nanyang Business School launched the Advanced Professional Certificate in Sustainability Reporting and AI Analytics, a programme that is fully aligned with the Sustainability Reporting Body of Knowledge (SR BOK) developed by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and recognised by Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) under the SkillsFuture Green Workplace (SFGW) initiative.
With 5 robust modules, including a capstone, this comprehensive programme will help organisations build capabilities and upskill professionals to produce sustainability reports that comply with international standards as well as Singapore’s regulatory requirements.
You will be equipped with a thorough understanding of sustainability reporting standards for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues and climate-related disclosures. Through real case studies, you will analyse and apply globally recognised frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
