ESG Reporting: Get Current!

Professor Orpurt’s presentation will get you current with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting. There have been many changes in ESG reporting over the last two years, including advancing frameworks, standards, and standard setting organizations. The presentation will start with (a few) statistics on ESG topics and ESG reporting, including pragmatic academic research highlights. It will then help you make sense and organize the “alphabet soup” in ESG reporting, including the GHG Protocol, SASB, GRI, ISSB, VRF organizations, frameworks, and standards. A roadmap for developing ESG reports, highlights from several case studies, and a tour of several ESG reports will be on offer.  

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the current state of ESG reporting, including standards, frameworks, and adoption trends by public companies
  • Articulate both internal and external business cases for ESG reporting. Frame the business cases utilizing both returns and risks viewpoints
  • Evaluate various educational and training options available to advance your personal ESG reporting capabilities
