PRIMO Res Publica is happy to support and promote a new online course, focused on the topic of ESG, the Environmental, Social, and Governance framework used by investors and businesses to evaluate an organisation’s ethical and sustainable impact. In the view of our foundation, this framework is one of the highest ethical starting points, set of constraints and forms, like the Sustainable Development Goals developed by the United Nations, that lead to establishing public values. The risks related to these values are essential to measure, understand and act upon.

This course gives a perfect overview of the world of ESG and SDG and is highly recommended for all employees, managers and governors not only in business but even more so in the public and non-profit organisations. It is our Earth and the lives of the people, communities and our children and grandchildren that count. You are invited.

“The Certificate in ESG Risk Management is now open. It is the first certificate SRLA has co-awarded — with the Malta Association of Risk Management and ATCS Consultancy Ltd — and as someone on this list, you can take it for €200 instead of €250 with the code SRLA2026, until 30 September.

It is seventy video topics across ten lectures, 16.7 hours of measured video, and a hundred-question examination — 18 hours of structured study in total. The certificate is awarded on passing the examination, not on attendance, which is the whole reason it exists in this form. I countersign each certificate myself, so I have a direct interest in it being worth holding. Lifetime access, and a year’s membership of both SRLA and MARM is included.

The material treats ESG as a risk discipline rather than a vocabulary: identification and assessment, climate and environmental risk, the European regulatory stack — CSRD, ESRS, SFDR, the Taxonomy — disclosure and ratings, and scenario analysis. No prior ESG study is assumed.

€200 excluding VAT with the code SRLA2026, until 30 September. VAT is added at checkout at the rate of your country — €236 including Maltese VAT.

If you would like to know whether it fits what you actually do, or whether it would suit your team rather than you, reply to this, and we will give you a straight answer. If it is not for you, saying so costs nothing and we would rather know.”
