An interactive training on “Sustainable Business in Action: Managing the ESG Reporting Process” brought together professionals from across industries to explore how ESG principles can be effectively applied in real business environments, while also spotlighting the ESG4PMChange project.

Building Practical ESG Skills

The training focused on equipping participants with a comprehensive understanding of ESG frameworks and their application in business operations. Through a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, participants:

  • Explored core ESG principles and their business relevance

This practical approach ensured that participants not only understood ESG concepts, but also gained tools to implement them in their organizations.

Interactive Learning and Real-World Application

Designed as a workshop-based training, the event combined expert-led sessions with group work, discussions, and applied exercises. Participants worked through real-world scenarios, translating ESG principles into actionable business strategies.

A key highlight was the integration of the ESG4PMChange project, presented as a framework for developing ESG competencies in project management. The session encouraged discussion on how ESG can be embedded into project workflows and organisational practices.
