Summary

Unlock resilience, compliance, and competitive advantage in industrial decarbonisation.

As ESG and emissions considerations become central to engineering investment and operational decisions, technical professionals in heavy industry face growing pressure to deliver sustainability outcomes.  

This course addresses the skills gap by equipping delegates with the tools, insights, and examples needed to embed ESG risk management, develop emissions strategies, and support sustainable industrial transitions. Particular attention is given to lessons learned from oil & gas, and the practical realities of applying them in manufacturing, processing, and infrastructure sectors. 

Who should attend?

Engineering professionals, project managers, technical leads, ESG and sustainability officers, operations and HSE personnel. 

 This course is designed for anyone responsible for technical decision-making who needs to understand ESG and emissions in an industrial context. 

How will I benefit?

After the course you will be able to:  

- Understand ESG requirements and how they apply to technical projects 

- Understand how to construct a basic emissions inventory and develop a reduction roadmap 

- Communicate climate-related risks and strategies credibly and transparently 

- Apply practical tools for integrating ESG into design, investment, and procurement decisions 

Contributes 7 CPD hours

Key topics
