A very good course and feels academic but practical with lots of good examples and background reading. The quizzes were not too simple and the content was a very good level. The lecturers were excellent and engaging. I would recommend this course and enjoyed it.

impossible to complete the course if you have a limited time as your grade depends on being graded by at least 3 of other participants of this course.

The course provided a comprehensive and well-structured overview of sustainability reporting, particularly on how companies implement and communicate ESG practices in alignment with global standards. I found the balance between theory and practical case insights very valuable, as it deepened my understanding of regulatory frameworks and reporting challenges. The peer-reviewed assignments also encouraged critical reflection and practical application, making the learning experience more engaging. I would recommend this course to professionals, educators, and students who want to strengthen their knowledge of ESG reporting and its growing role in corporate strategy and accountability.
