Real-World Projects in ESG Course in Dubai

The following are the projects and case studies you will come across during our ESG Training in Dubai.

Projects

  • Project 1: ESG Materiality Assessment

    In this project, you’ll step into the shoes of an ESG analyst and perform a full-scale materiality assessment for a chosen industry—be it manufacturing, finance, tech, or another sector. You’ll explore how to identify which Environmental, Social, and Governance factors truly matter most to a company and its stakeholders. Using globally recognized methods like the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and tools from SASB and ISSB, you’ll learn how to apply stakeholder engagement techniques and evaluate the real-world impact of ESG issues. This project will help you understand what drives value and risk from an ESG perspective.

  • Project 2: Carbon Footprint Calculation

    Get hands-on with sustainability metrics by learning how to calculate a company’s carbon footprint using the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol). You’ll break down emissions into Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories, assess energy use and supply chain impacts, and learn how to create a reporting structure that aligns with global frameworks like the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures). Most importantly, you’ll develop actionable strategies to reduce carbon emissions—an essential skill in today’s climate-conscious world.

  • Project 3: ESG Risk Assessment

    Every organization faces ESG risks—but how do you identify them before they become crises? In this project, you’ll conduct a risk assessment across the environmental, social, and governance dimensions using real-world scenarios. Whether it’s climate risk, supply chain vulnerabilities, labor rights issues, or governance lapses, you’ll learn how to spot red flags early. Then, you’ll create tailored mitigation strategies using industry tools inspired by ISO standards, SEBI BRSR, and SEC climate risk frameworks. By the end, you’ll be equipped to guide organizations in building resilience through ESG best practices.

  • Project 4: KPI Development for ESG

    How do you know if an ESG strategy is working? This project will teach you how to develop clear, measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that reflect sustainability performance. You’ll design a balanced ESG scorecard that integrates the Triple Bottom Line—People, Planet, and Profit—and ties it to metrics used in real companies. Using guidance from GRI, SASB, and S&P Global ESG Scores, you’ll create indicators for everything from carbon intensity and diversity metrics, to governance benchmarks. This will give you the tools to measure, report, and improve ESG outcomes effectively.
