Learning Pathways

Introductory section of Nature learning pathway.

This online course offers a deep dive into the topic of Biodiversity and its crucial influence on the environment, society, and economy. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024 Standard through a interactive, self-paced learning experience. By completing this course, learners will acquire the tools needed to elevate the quality of sustainability reporting disclosures, drive sustainable business practices, and stay ahead of the curve on the topic of Biodiversity.

This course introduces the key concepts and reporting tools that help organizations understand, manage, and disclose their interactions with nature. As nature loss, ecosystem degradation, and biodiversity decline are increasingly recognized as systemic risks to economic stability and long-term resilience, organizations are expected to take a more active role in addressing these challenges.

You will explore how business activities depend on and impact nature, how these interactions give rise to risks and opportunities, and how organizations can respond through effective management and transparent reporting. The course also introduces leading reporting tools such as the GRI Standards (particularly GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024) and the TNFD recommendations, which together support organizations in identifying, assessing, and disclosing nature-related issues.

Designed in a new, agile, and mobile-friendly format, the course offers a highly interactive learning experience while remaining concise and practical.

Exclusive to the Nature Reporting pathway, this microlearning explores biodiversity reporting in practice through a real-world case study of JSW Steel. It examines how the company applies the mitigation hierarchy to manage its biodiversity impacts and how GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024 supports its approach to managing and reporting these impacts. The case study offers practical insights into JSW Steel’s sustainability reporting journey, its biodiversity-related impacts, and the application

Nature is vital to every organization’s long-term success—yet it’s often overlooked in sustainability reporting. This course explores why nature-related disclosures matter and how organizations can respond to growing expectations for transparency by leveraging the GRI-TNFD interoperability mapping. Through concrete examples, expert interviews, and case studies, you will learn how to streamline your reporting, avoid duplication, and build a more complete picture of your organization’s nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities.

If you're already reporting with the GRI Standards, you'll discover how the TNFD Recommendations can complement your current disclosures and help you strengthen nature-related reporting. On the other hand, if you're already reporting with TNFD, you'll learn that GRI’s well-established indicators can support your work and help you meet stakeholder expectations.

This course explores how waste, pollution, and circular economy approaches are shaping the future of sustainable business. As organizations face growing pressure to reduce environmental impacts and operate within planetary boundaries, circularity is becoming an essential strategy for improving resource efficiency, strengthening resilience, and creating long-term value.

You will examine how waste and pollution affect biodiversity, ecosystems, and business performance, and discover how circular economy principles can help organizations design out waste, keep materials in use, and reduce pressure on natural systems. The course also introduces leading reporting standards and frameworks—including SDG 12, GRI 306: Waste 2020, TNFD pollution metrics, ESRS E5, and SASB sector guidance—that help organizations measure, manage, and report on waste, pollution, and circularity.

Designed in a new, agile, and mobile-friendly format, the course offers a highly interactive learning experience while remaining concise, practical, and action-oriented.

The Final Assessment is the last step of the Nature Reporting Learning Pathway. It allows you to reflect on what you have learned and demonstrate your understanding of the concepts covered throughout the pathway. There is no minimum score required to complete the assessment. Upon completion, you will earn the Nature Reporting Expert digital badge.
