One live module per week paired with guided assignments — scheduled to fit a university calendar.
RSustain Academy Certificate of Completion, plus career guidance to translate the programme into applications.
One Curriculum, Four Pillars
The same for every student.
Every partner university receives the same core content across the four modules below. What varies by package is depth, engagement, customisation and support — not the syllabus itself.
Foundations of ESG & corporate sustainability
Core principles of ESG and responsible business practices across industries — the vocabulary and mental models every practitioner is expected to have.
Global reporting frameworks
How to read and apply the frameworks that shape corporate disclosure worldwide — and the reporting concepts that sit underneath them.
Climate change & carbon management
Climate change fundamentals, carbon management and how organisations build a defensible sustainability strategy.
Applied & professional skills
Real sustainability challenges through case studies; research, communication, presentation and stakeholder-engagement skills built through guided assignments.
The Four-Week Journey
Live sessions each week, structured to build from theory to applied practice.
Core principles of ESG and corporate sustainability, and how responsible business practices show up across industries. The vocabulary students need before frameworks make sense.
Read and apply GRI, ISSB, ESRS, CSRD, TCFD and ISO 14001. Core reporting concepts — materiality, disclosures, boundaries — worked through in practice, not just on slides.
Climate change fundamentals, carbon management, and organisational sustainability strategy. From physical science to how a real company sets and defends a net-zero pathway.
Real-world case studies, professional skills, CV & LinkedIn guidance. Students leave the programme with the RSustain Academy Certificate of Completion and a portfolio-ready case.
