Course Description

This module features key highlights from the Sustainability Apex Programme (SAP) Masterclass 1. SAP is a joint initiative by ISCA and LawSoc, supported by EnterpriseSG. The SAP Masterclasses are intended for participants to stay updated on evolving sustainability trends and topics, and gain insights on ESG issues from service providers' perspectives. 

Synopsis:

The global sustainability landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, with regulators, investors, and stakeholders demanding greater transparency and accountability. From the EU’s CSRD to the ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2, a wave of new reporting frameworks is reshaping how organisations communicate their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

In this masterclass, gain a clear, practical understanding of the world’s key ESG frameworks, the GRI, ISSB, and CSRD, and how they interconnect through interoperability and double materiality principles. Learn what these developments mean for businesses in Singapore and the region, and how you can prepare for upcoming reporting mandates under SGX and international standards.

Through real-world examples, regulatory updates, and a deep dive into Singapore’s sustainability reporting roadmap, this module equips finance and accounting professionals with the knowledge to confidently lead ESG disclosure initiatives and bridge financial and non-financial reporting for long-term value creation.
