Course Overview
Improving the environmental, social, governance, and financial performance of any organization requires data, and this data must be shared with relevant internal and external stakeholders in a meaningful and transparent way. In this course, students apply their learning from FMGT 5330: Impact Measurement and Reporting and complete a case study to produce an impact report. In this case study, students apply leading practices in impact reporting including applying relevant reporting standards and frameworks and gathering data to inform double materiality and KPI reporting.
