ESG Driven Performance is an executive education programme designed to enhance professionals’ ability to integrate ESG into management processes, transforming reporting requirements into relevant information for decision-making and business management.
Built around a practical approach, the programme focuses on topics such as maturity assessment, the definition and monitoring of ESG KPIs, indicator calculation simulations, dashboard development, and the integration of ESG into management and operational control processes. With a particular focus on SMEs and Mid Caps, it also covers the main reporting frameworks and the criteria for selecting the KPIs most relevant to each organisation.
The programme is designed to transform ESG indicators into tools for monitoring, management and competitiveness, enabling organisations to structure data collection systems and develop governance models tailored to their specific context. Through concrete KPIs and metrics, the course also explores the impact of ESG in organisations traditionally focused on financial performance, helping to integrate this perspective into decision-making and progressively embed it within the organisation.
The programme also addresses current challenges related to the quality and credibility of ESG reporting, including risks of inconsistency, greenwashing and incomplete reporting, promoting more robust and transparent reporting practices aligned with leading international standards.
ESG Driven Performance is an executive programme structured into six modules and designed to support organisations in defining, monitoring and reporting ESG KPIs applicable to business realities. With a practical and management-oriented approach, the course combines core concepts, applied exercises, dashboard development, reporting simulations and the development of operational tools tailored to the maturity and size of organisations.
The programme begins with ESG fundamentals and the legal and regulatory framework, progressing to topics such as ESG Maturity, KPI definition and operational governance. Throughout the modules, participants work with management and monitoring tools, ESG reporting, transition roadmaps and real-world case studies, developing the skills required to structure systems for collecting, monitoring and analysing indicators aligned with current market requirements and leading international standards.
In summary, ESG Driven Performance provides a highly practical executive learning experience, combining ESG frameworks, management tools and operational methodologies to transform KPIs and reporting into instruments for management, monitoring and decision support. By the end of the programme, participants will be equipped to implement more robust and structured ESG systems aligned with the challenges of competitiveness, transparency and value creation.
