Course Introduction:
The course comprises of:
(a) 2-day of pre-trip to introduce key concepts on environmental sustainability & energy efficiency by introducing climate strategy fundamentals as well as global and local regulatory landscapes of climate actions and carbon management. It will also cover how sustainability impacts businesses in terms of competitiveness, and how businesses can identify and understand the company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) related opportunities and risks. In addition to exploring how materiality can impact business strategies.
(b) 5-day of overseas mission trip to learn industry best practices in environmental sustainability & energy efficiency. This includes an appreciation of business sustainability strategies, leadership, innovation and human capital. In addition, there will be visits to leading technology/application centres championing sustainability to better understand how advanced energy efficiency technologies and applications are adopted across different industry sectors. There will be a deep dive into how companies drive sustainability and proliferate into company business culture and employees.
(c) 2-day post trip to consolidate the learning and identify next actionable steps for sustainability transformation. It enables business leaders to apply tools such as Green Compass to assess their current operations, product life cycle and supply network, among other things and identify key follow-up actions to make their operations more environmentally sustainable.
The course aims to create a mindshare through sharing of industry best practices by technology leaders advancing environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. At the same time, the programme generates awareness in business sustainability strategies, materiality assessment, managing and reporting of carbon footprints as well as technological interventions to drive reduction of carbon emission or even net zero.
The increased awareness would enable and segue into follow ups in terms of sustainability transformation by building workforce capabilities and implementation of sustainable solutions through resource efficiency.
Course Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Cultivate a mindshare of ESEE for businesses and organisations
- Adopt business sustainability strategies and technological interventions to drive decarbonisation or net zero
- Assess business operations, product life cycle and supply network, for implementing more environmentally sustainable solutions
