Course Introduction
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations have become a central focus for investors, analysts, regulators, and other capital market stakeholders. Investor relations professionals are increasingly expected to explain how ESG factors are integrated into business strategy, risk management, performance, and long-term value creation—not as a separate narrative, but as part of the overall investment story.
The ESG Essentials in Investor Relations course is designed for professionals who are involved in investor communications and already have a basic understanding of ESG or financial reporting. Within BOOST, this program focuses on helping participants understand how ESG expectations influence investor decision-making and how ESG information can be communicated clearly, credibly, and consistently.
The course emphasizes the practical side of ESG in investor relations: what investors actually ask for, how ESG data is interpreted by the market, how disclosures are evaluated, and how inconsistencies or weak narratives can affect credibility. Participants will explore how to align ESG messaging with strategy, financial performance, and governance, while avoiding greenwashing and disclosure risks.
By the end of the program, participants will be better prepared to engage confidently with investors on ESG topics and support transparent, value-focused ESG communication.
