This course opens my mind to understand how proper implementation of ESG factors can drive a company's the financial impacts and the role managers must play to link ESG factors to KPIs.

It really brought concepts of ESG materiality to the forefront with relevant real-life examples. ESG seems like a much richer and more impactful tool than I had previously concluded.

This course was designed for beginners, however, the materials seemed to assume a certain level of prior knowledge, which left me feeling completely lost at times. Lectures included figures with minimal explanation. Moreover, I had expected the course to offer engaging tasks or group discussions that would help me apply what I was learning. Unfortunately, it was primarily composed of a series of 10-question tests at the end of each week.

A lot of terms used in the lectures are not explained. He is talking at a level that is suitable for a doctoral student in management. I recommend that Coursera create a prerequisite course for this one.
