ESG Leadership Academy

Developing leaders to creatively align Value with Values to shape a sustainable and inclusive future: a new mindset for an ESG world.

Duke CE has developed the ESG Leadership Academy to address the key knowledge, skill and mindsets required at all company levels throughout the learning and development journey. The learning journey encompasses a variety of delivery methods, guiding leaders through immersive experiences to effectively bridge the know-do gaps that many organizations experience.

ESG encompasses a wide variety of topics with the potential to align positive societal impact and business value creation.

How are our operations improving the lives of our stakeholders?
How can our business have a positive impact on our environment?
How do we organize to minimize company and societal risks?
