In today's dynamic corporate landscape, the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into professional decision-making has emerged as a critical imperative. Shasat has recently unveiled a ground-breaking program designed to meet this growing need. The ESG Masterclass, a two-day intensive course, is set to empower professionals with the knowledge and expertise required to excel in this transformative realm.


The corporate world is on the brink of a profound shift. The rise of socially responsible investing has led to a staggering increase in the allocation of assets, surpassing USD 23 trillion globally, consciously factoring in ESG influences. Numerous institutions and standards, including WBCSD, GRI, IIRC, SASB, TCFD, ISSB, ESRS, and the draft from SEC, have established diverse disclosure requirements. With the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) recently drawing inspiration from TCFD's disclosure mandates and subsequently introducing the ground-breaking IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards - IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, set to be effective from January 1, 2024, the landscape of global sustainability reporting has undergone a significant transformation. This two day ESG Masterclass program offered by Shasat is designed to navigate these multifaceted disclosure requirements. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the various requirements and discern the key differences among them, ensuring they're equipped to address and adhere to these evolving standards.

The ESG Masterclass program, offered by Shasat, has been meticulously crafted to cater to professionals seeking to navigate and influence this evolving landscape effectively. Its comprehensive curriculum spans a wide range of essential ESG topics, including climate change, social responsibility, human rights, corporate governance, and sustainable investing. Recognizing the paramount importance of the new IFRS sustainability standards, the program's expert instructors guide participants through real-world case studies and hands-on exercises, equipping them with the skills and insights necessary to embrace ESG best practices and leverage the 'climate first' transition approach for their inaugural year of reporting under these standards.
By the culmination of this program, participants will possess the capability to identify ESG risks and opportunities, formulate robust strategies to address them, and seamlessly integrate ESG considerations into their professional roles. Irrespective of whether one is an investor, a business leader, or a sustainability professional, the ESG Masterclass serves as a transformative platform to accelerate professional growth.

This program offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a dynamic, purpose-driven transformation, ultimately empowering individuals to steer their organizations and contribute to a sustainable, equitable future. It is an invitation to stay ahead of the curve and become the change agents that the world needs.

Key Learning Features of the ESG Masterclass program encompass gaining in-depth insights into the implications of IFRS S1 and S2 Standards on sustainability reporting, understanding the advantages of the 'climate first' transition approach, evaluating the impact of these standards on an organization's ESG disclosures and value chain, and formulating a comprehensive sustainability disclosure plan in alignment with IFRS S1 and S2. Additionally, participants will be exposed to best practices for identifying ESG risks, opportunities, and ensuring compliance with the new standards during the transition process.
