Importance of Training

Why ESG Matters in the Irish Workplace?

The Irish government’s 2024 Climate Action Plan sets a bold and necessary framework for environmental sustainability. Committing to a 51% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and aiming for net zero no later than 2050, the plan underscores Ireland’s need to accelerate action and secure a low-carbon future for all its citizens.

To achieve these goals, companies are expected to make annual public disclosures of the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from their activities. This places Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles at the forefront of organisational priorities, requiring businesses across Ireland to align with these evolving standards.

The shift to a sustainable economy demands active participation at every level of an organisation. Employees who understand ESG principles and their influence on workplace behaviours and processes are better equipped to support these vital changes, ensuring their organisation remains compliant and contributes meaningfully to Ireland’s sustainability goals.

From understanding what ESG is to learning how to align personal actions with organisational objectives, this course empowers your workforce with the knowledge, skills, and tools to navigate these challenges effectively, helping your business transition to a more sustainable and responsible future.
