Announce Executive Program in Corporate Sustainability
Kolkata, November 6, 2024: TalentSprint, a leading global education company powered by AI, has teamed up with IIM Calcutta, India's 1st IIM and a premier management institute, to offer advanced executive education programs tailored for working professionals. The partnership blends IIM Calcutta’s academic leadership with TalentSprint’s vast outreach and expertise in online program delivery, designed to empower professionals with the skills needed to thrive in today’s environmentally responsible businesses. The launch of an Executive Program in Corporate Sustainability marks a decisive step forward in addressing the evolving needs of the industry.
Sustainability is no longer a
choice or a reporting requirement but a strategic action for companies across
their business value chain. The International Labor Organization predicts that
by 2030, the green economy will generate approximately 100 million new jobs
globally. In India alone, over 30 million sustainability-related jobs are
expected in the next 25 years.
As businesses align with the UN's
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, SEBI now mandates listed
companies to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
activities through the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting
(BRSR). This shift places a growing responsibility on companies to find
professionals capable of setting and executing effective sustainability
agendas. Corporate honchos are increasingly being pushed to tick the boxes on
ecology protection as a metrics of evaluating their performances.
In light of this ongoing
transformative shift, IIM Calcutta, in collaboration with TalentSprint, has
launched a high-impact Executive Program in Corporate Sustainability
(EPCS). This program is designed to equip participants with the skills to
create and implement actionable sustainability strategies, transforming ESG
from a compliance obligation into a strategy for profitability.
Prof. Runa Sarkar, one of the Program Directors, and Professor at IIM Calcutta highlights, “Our curriculum is backed by rigorous research and
tailored for professionals with corporate experience. It’s not just aligned
with the SDGs; it’s designed to integrate cutting-edge business simulations
that translate sustainability principles into actionable strategies. The live
sessions are planned with interactive discussions, experiential learning and
case study discussions to enable real world impact.”
Dr. Santanu Paul, Founding
CEO & MD of TalentSprint, adds, “Sustainability
is no longer just a regulatory mandate; it’s now recognized as a profit center
and a critical business imperative. Thus, the need for skilled professionals in
this area has never been so high. This program, built on industry-trusted
pedagogy, empowers learners with the
expertise to lead impactful and responsible sustainability initiatives.”
Ideal for experienced
professionals, learners who enrol in
this program understand the parameters to drive sustainable growth,
enhance organizational reputation, and stay ahead of sustainability trends and
regulations, simultaneously adding to the bottomline.The program is a 12-month
live learning experience which brings to light critical knowledge on ethical
and strategic sustainability challenges, green finance and sustainable design
thinking. It combines the academic depth of IIM Calcutta with the online
delivery expertise and outreach experience of TalentSprint.
This thoughtfully crafted program
will help participants to navigate strategic sustainability challenges while
aligning with applicable sustainability practices and methods, in line with the
latest trends and benchmarks. For more information about the program, visit website
