Training and facilitation

We recognise the benefits of engaging with staff, suppliers, customers, investors and other key stakeholders, to educate and motivate them to support your ambition on carbon and sustainability.

We provide you with a range of engaging training, e-learning, and tools to bring people on-board and buy-in to the role they can play on net zero and wider sustainability, and importantly how to do it.

We have expertise and experience in developing and delivering in-house training and workshop facilitation on all ESG and sustainability issues, and will work with you to plan what will be most effective.  We have delivered training for a range of large public and private companies, public sector organisations such as NHS England, and all 32 of London’s local councils.  Specific modules include:

  • Introduction to Sustainability and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance)
  • Introduction to carbon and climate change
  • Carbon and buildings – existing buildings, refurbishments and new developments
  • Carbon and power – fuel source, metering, data and informed decision-making
  • Carbon, waste and the circular economy
  • Carbon , sustainable procurement and your supply chain (Tackling Scope 3 Carbon emissions)
  • Green recovery and sustainable economy
  • Carbon accounting
  • Carbon reporting, the CSRD, TCFD and the SFDR
    (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, Taskforce on Climate Related Financial Disclosures, Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulations)

 

Board advisory and executive coaching

We provide Board advisory support, on ESG, net-zero and wider sustainability, including due diligence.

We can help Boards to stay ahead of mandatory regulations such as CSRD, TCFD, TNFD, SECR and SFDR to voluntary frameworks such as CDP, GRESB and GRI, and we can also support with Board-level coaching on ESG risks, opportunities, trends and forthcoming legislation.

Our support helps to enhance transparency and disclosure to stakeholders, including how ESG can be important from an operational resilience and reputational perspective, and also provides support on the myriad of initiatives, the terminology used, and how to integrate ESG into core business operations and get buy-in, ownership and results.

Our experts and reporting tools can help you quantify and report your carbon emissions footprint across your value chain – from your direct operations (Scope 1 & 2) to your upstream and downstream supply chain (Scope 3). 

 

E-learning

Square Gain provides interactive sustainability e-learning programmes to help larger organisations to communicate and educate staff, supply-chain and in some cases clients on ESG and sustainability issues.

Often e-learning programmes complement in-person training and facilitation.  We have developed bespoke programmes for multinational companies such as ISG, Multiplex and CIRIA, for local authorities including Hounslow, Tower Hamlets, and Hackney.

Specific modules can be created bespoke to your aims, some examples of which are shown below:

  • Introduction to Sustainability and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance)
  • Introduction to carbon and climate change
  • Carbon and buildings – new-buildings, existing buildings and refurbishments
  • Green and active travel
  • Carbon, waste and the circular economy
  • Sustainable procurement and your supply chain: Improving resilience and tackling scope 3 carbon emissions
  • Green recovery and sustainable economy
  • Carbon accounting

  • Sustainability disclosures and reporting, the CSRD, TCFD and the SFDR

ESG Stakeholder engagement

We can help you to map and engage positively with your key stakeholders on ESG. , and develop mechanisms encourage discussion and engagement.  This could be meetings with investors, events with your supply chain, or facilitating workshops on specific issues such as sustainable transport, waste or carbon accounting.

For local authorities, we develop, project manage and facilitate or climate summits for local councils to engage with local residents, businesses, voluntary sector, faith groups and wider stakeholders.

Most engagement activities can be run either remotely or in-person, although we recommend in-person engagement for some activities.  Ongoing engagement programmes such as supply-chain programmes tend to be most effective using a hybrid of in-person, remote live training and e-learning.
