What people are saying

ANIRBAN GHOSH
CHIEF SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER MAHINDRA GROUP
A pandemic like COVID-19 amplifies uncertainties. In this milieu, the programs done by ESG Competent Boards enable a pragmatic and positive perspective on the way forward where economic, social and environmental sustainability are intertwined.

ANNA TUDELA
FORMER VICE-PRESIDENT, DIVERSITY, REGULATORY AFFAIRS AND CORPORATE SECRETARY, GOLDCORP INC
In my role as Corporate Secretary of a major mining company I’ve seen board members not asking the right questions. Every company should consider asking at least one or two of their board members to enroll and attend this program. The program is superb as it offers views from many people from different parts of the world who have opinions or questions which makes all of us think differently. I see a lot of value in the program and consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to be part of it.

CHRISTINE DIAMANTE
MANAGING DIRECTOR, BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION, BSR
I gained an extraordinary network of colleagues who I look forward to engaging with and continuously learning from. I can’t recommend the program enough to any interested leaders!

Having considered several executive board programs, I am glad I chose to participate in the ESG Competent Boards Certificate Program. I have gained practical insights that I deploy in my board work already. Highly recommended for any board member!

JOSÉE MORIN
BOARD DIRECTOR, CIMA+ AND KNOWLEDGE FIRST FINANCIAL
I found the interactive content to be insightful and challenging, and the case discussions brought all the content into perspective. One of the most valuable aspects was the richness of interaction between the participants and speakers, which come from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and experiences, deepening the learnings from the program. A top tier governance certificate program.
