Understand the emerging contexts and applications of sustainability, especially ESG and climate change arenas

Sustainability has become a vital foundation for many businesses and organisations, including listed companies, small and medium enterprises, social enterprises and public agencies. Stakeholders in all spheres are requiring the leaderships to be responsible to the community and society at large as well as to contribute to sustainable development. More recently and critically, there is an intensive attention on the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) pillars of sustainability and on the implications of climate change.
