摘要

Higher education aims to create workers with skills that meet the knowledge and needs of sustainable development. ESG is a concept that is used to evaluate the sustainability of companies and investments.ESG (Environment Social Governance) has been a frequent topic of discussion in recent years, becoming increasingly part of a company's standpoint and providing a competitive advantage in certain respects. ESG management is an important tool that supports the EU companies’ aim to reach 0 emissions by the year 2050. However, the companies lack ESG knowledge; therefore, this is the gap the educational organisations should fill by educating future ESG specialists. ESG consists of three parts - environment, social, and governance. The ‘E’ part is mainly related to calculating CO2 and its equivalents. However, assessing the ‘S’ and ‘G’ parts is less clear. It must be straightforward to teach subjects related to ESG, which organisations require. Therefore, the article addresses the problem of the lack of a methodology for ESG assessment. The implementation of ESG is a resource-consuming effort. We introduce the framework to make the ESG journey transition profitable to the customer and company and how it can be applied to develop training, micro degree, and MSc curriculum.
