Introduction: ESG refers to Environmental, Social and Governance, which are recognized as the main components of sustainable development. It has gained increasing attention globally in the past decade, partly due to the rising impact of climate change. Companies have been allocating more resources and capital for improving their ESG performances. Therefore, more opportunities are now available for Science graduates in the ESG-related business sector. This workshop aims to give students an overview of the ESG industry and how they can prepare for an ESG career.
