𝐄𝐒𝐆 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝟐.𝟎 — 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐧

18 August 2026. More than 100 professionals. One shared question: what does ESG mean for my organisation, and what do I need to do?

What makes this Masterclass unlike anything before it — it speaks to every function, not just the sustainability team.

ESG compliance lives across the entire organisation. And for the first time, we have built a programme that reflects that reality.

Steel. Mining. FMCG. Real estate. IT. Logistics. Paint. Financial services. Pharma. Every sector. Every function. All in one room.

The future belongs to ESG-ready businesses.

Eastern Region industry just took a step forward.
