Introduction to ESG
History, Challenges, Principles
Aligned with Terrami’s corporate business plan, the company’s training program integrates a suite of contemporary instructional modalities, including digital presentations and webinar-based learning. This pedagogical architecture is designed to optimize knowledge acquisition while maintaining high levels of participant engagement. Grounded in Terrami’s strategic commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and Circular Economy (CE) frameworks, the curriculum is systematically structured to comprehensively address both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of these domains. The current presentation, serving as the inaugural session, provides a foundational introduction to ESG. It offers a rigorous examination of its conceptual and operational definitions, the contextual drivers behind its emergence, a critical review of established environmental, economic, and social management systems, and a nuanced analysis of the strategic benefits alongside the implementation challenges inherent in ESG adoption.
The forthcoming webinar focuses on the diverse methodological frameworks and operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) employed in ESG performance measurement and scoring. In addition to providing comprehensive overviews of each framework, the session will incorporate a structured comparative analysis to critically evaluate their respective strengths, limitations, and contextual applicability. The core KPIs underpinning each assessment model will be systematically delineated and contextualized. The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A forum, fostering scholarly and practitioner dialogue among participants to further elucidate the conceptual dimensions, operational mechanics, and strategic utility of these ESG evaluation frameworks.
