ESG, Sustainability & Impact Challenges
ESG, Sustainability & Impact challenges put you inside the work of measuring and disclosing how an organization affects the planet and society. You'll build on Climate Basics and ESG Frameworks, run a Materiality Assessment, and carry out GHG Protocol Scope 1 emissions accounting the way sustainability teams actually do.
From there you'll handle the harder edges — GHG Protocol Scope 2 & 3 accounting, CSRD / ISSB Disclosures, transition planning, and air-quality dispersion modeling — backing every claim with ESG data governance and audit-grade documentation, and mapping outcomes to the UN SDGs. Each challenge you solve earns a verified credential you can share with recruiters.
