Sustainability Impacts and Risks: A Practical Exercise

This engaging learning experience introduces two complementary perspectives in sustainability reporting: the impact perspective and the risks and opportunities perspective. Through the case of a T-shirt manufacturer, you’ll explore real-life scenarios—such as switching to renewable energy or designing for durability, and learn how these perspectives work individually and together. The result: practical skills to create clearer, more meaningful, and credible sustainability disclosures.
