Develop your commercial awareness and facilitate your understanding of the key financial competences required to manage a business successfully, such as forecasting and business analysis specifically for the areas of Environmental, Social and Governance in Hospitality.

Overview

Who is this for?

This course is ideal for all those staff who are required to plan for, interpret outcomes and report on sustainability and governance. The course is an introduction to developing an ESG strategy which focuses on the environmental, social, and governance risks in operations as well as exploring the cost benefits.

We recommend that you collaborate with your sustainability team prior to the course or ask them to join the session.

Why should I take part?

There is increasing interest in the role of ESG and the impact on the triple bottom line – profit, people, planet. The commitment to quantifying ESG practices has become progressively more significant for local and central government and for universities and their departments. A clear ESG strategy can lead to not only better financial results but also to better engagement with key stakeholders in the community within which the business operates.

During the event, you will…

  • Identify your key stakeholders and their ESG priorities for your organisation
  • Review the organisation’s current position
  • Develop a framework for measurement and reporting

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost.

    All professional development events are available for ANY staff in institutions who are members of TUCO, not just employees in the hospitality, catering and commercial services department.
