IMI New Delhi’s six month, certificate program titled Advanced Program in Sustainability Leadership and ESG strategy is a unique and powerful program designed specifically for executives and leaders (and aspirants ) of the domains of Sustainability and ESG operations. The program provides knowledge and skills necessary to understand and execute the ESG
requirements as per the govt regulations in context of organization’s vision
and mission. In the long run the program will help the participants to
amalgamate the entire CSR/Sustainability/ESG function as part of the main
strategy rather than treating these aspects as a peace meal approach. The
program pedagogy will be driven by the classroom discussion, real case
studies, peer learning, few guest lectures from industry leaders and
assessments during the six months journey of the program.

rounded understanding of CSR and sustainability in a senior management
context. Additionally, it's essential to provide opportunities for networking
