The M.C. Mehta Centre for Education and Research is founded on the legacy of Shri M.C. Mehta, Padma Shri awardee and India's leading environmental lawyer. It combines decades of environmental advocacy with legal and policy expertise to provide mission-driven education in ESG, sustainability, and governance. The Centre is committed to teaching the next generation of environmental professionals in the same way that it has shaped ground-breaking environmental jurisprudence in India.

India has introduced mandatory Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for the top 1,000 listed companies which has increased investor demand for sustainable practices, and increased the efforts towards achieving India's net zero commitments. This has created a demand for professionals who are proficient in ESG data, reporting frameworks, and compliance. Therefore, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is now becoming an emerging career in India.

You will gain a strong foundation in ESG concepts, frameworks (GRI, ISSB, TCFD, SASB, BRSR, CSRD/ESRS), materiality assessment, compliance obligations, sustainable finance, climate risk, and strategies for integrating ESG into business decision-making. Our curriculum is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach, policy-driven perspective, and strong emphasis on real-world applicability for organizations navigating the rapidly evolving ESG landscape. The course is tailored for professionals seeking practical knowledge, clear regulatory understanding, and a values-based approach to sustainability. Through carefully designed course modules, course participants gain a solid understanding of the key principles, frameworks, standards, and skills needed to integrate ESG into business practice and investment decisions, including understanding how ESG contributes to long term value creation, stakeholder trust, and sustainable development.

The course prepares you for roles such as ESG Analyst, Sustainability Consultant, Corporate Governance Advisor, CSR & Impact Assessment Professional, Climate Risk & Compliance Officer, Environmental Manager, and ESG Legal Advisor.

This course is designed for professionals in ESG, sustainability, finance, law, compliance, policy, and academia, as well as students and early-career professionals preparing for ESG-aligned roles.
