About Programme
The rising wave of sustainability regulation, disclosure standards, and stakeholder expectations is reshaping the global business landscape. Organizations of all sizes must define, forecast, and disclose their sustainability impact, fundamentally altering how investors, customers, employees, and other stakeholders perceive them. Strategic commitments without credible measurement create reputational and legal risks. Companies can no longer promise what they cannot measure.
To succeed, leaders need to understand how sustainability is quantified and measured, and how to embed these insights into strategy, governance, and operations.
IMD’s Managing and Measuring Sustainability Impact program empowers you to turn sustainability from a compliance obligation into a strategic asset. The program also helps you navigate the ESG and sustainability backlash by focusing on the dimensions that strategically matter and truly create impact. You’ll learn how to identify the right metrics for your organization, integrate them into strategic decision-making, operationalize your sustainability initiatives, and communicate impact credibly to stakeholders.
Through a blend of interactive liVe virtual sessions, online modules, and in-person experiences, complemented by real-world case studies, you’ll develop the skills to navigate today’s fast-evolving sustainability landscape and position your organization to thrive.
IMD is committed to equipping leaders with critical sustainability capabilities. To support this mission, we offer limited funding support. Contact our Program Advisor team for details.
