PROGRAM STRUCTURE OVERVIEW*
Module 1: Why is ESG Crucial for Boards?
Examine the pros and cons of shareholder primacy and stakeholder governance.
What are sustainability, ESG, and corporate purpose? Why does it matter for your
company? Michigan Ross faculty, Ceres, and a team of experts will help you
understand the emergence of ESG backlash. And how boards should use
sustainability to guide decisions.
Module 2: What ESG Risks and Opportunities Must Boards Understand?
Explore key areas and developments around the ESG risks and opportunities boards
are increasingly encountering and the critical importance of materiality
assessment.
Module 3: What ESG Oversight Do Investors Expect from Boards?
Explore the key elements of investor expectations for board oversight of
sustainability, and focus on the board’s evolving role in managing expectations
and engaging with investors.
Module 4: How Can the Board Set Aspirational ESG Goals and Attain Them?
Focus on embedding ESG in organizational strategy. Learn about ESG reporting to
connect targets and compensation. Michigan Ross Faculty and a team of experts
will help you explore and examine materiality and issues that your organization
and/or industry face through materiality & stakeholder exercises.
Module 5: What are Best Practices for Disclosing ESG Risks and Opportunities?
Explore the evolving framework of ESG disclosure and the board’s role in this
critical area. We examine frameworks for disclosure and key domestic and
international trends.
Module 6: How Can Boards Align Corporate Political Activity to Meet
Sustainability Commitments?
Examine vital topics surrounding corporate political responsibility, including
gaining a deeper understanding of policy engagement and the board’s role in
overseeing corporate political responsibility.
Module 7: How Should Boards Be Structured to Oversee Sustainability Commitments?
In our capstone module, we will draw together the key elements of the previous
six weeks to examine the relationship between ESG oversight and board
performance. We will explore effective board structures and characteristics and
challenge our students to take action based on knowledge shared and gained
during our course.
