ESG for Boards is a competence program for board directors and top managers on how the ESG-agenda affects the boards’ role, composition and work processes.

Published 8 May 2025

As the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) agenda becomes an essential part of corporate strategy, the role of boards in driving sustainable and responsible business practices has never been more critical.

FutureBoards’ “ESG for Boards” competence program, developed in collaboration with DNV, is designed to equip board directors and senior managers with the expertise needed to navigate this evolving landscape.

 Through three focused modules, participants will explore how ESG considerations impact board composition, decision-making, and work processes. The program features insights from leading experts and thought leaders, offering a unique blend of short presentations and interactive roundtable discussions.

 By participating in this program, board members and senior leaders will not only gain a deeper understanding of the ESG agenda but also learn practical strategies to integrate ESG principles into their governance roles. Each module addresses key aspects of ESG, providing the tools and perspectives necessary to foster long-term value creation and responsible leadership. Upon completing all three modules, participants will receive an ‘ESG competent’ certificate — a recognized credential that underscores their commitment to sustainable governance.

 This program is an invaluable opportunity for leaders looking to stay ahead of regulatory expectations and societal demands while shaping the future of their organizations.
