Climate Disclosure Programme Build for SaaS-and-Enterprise Clients (CSRD + SEC + ISSB)

Build the climate disclosure programme from scratch in 10 weeks. EU CSRD + ESRS E1 + SEC climate rule + ISSB IFRS S2 alignment.

EU CSRD reporting started for largest companies in FY2024, expanding to all large public-interest entities by FY2025-2027. SEC climate disclosure (final March 2024) is in litigation but expected. ISSB IFRS S2 adoption is accelerating globally. Enterprise clients need the climate-disclosure programme this year. Here's the 10-week build playbook.

Why this course

Climate-disclosure regulation hit a tipping point in 2024-2025. The EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) is now mandatory: large EU-listed companies reported FY2024; large EU non-listed companies report FY2025; listed SMEs report FY2026; non-EU companies with EU activities report FY2028. Each report must conform to ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) with ESRS E1 (Climate change) as the centrepiece, requires double-materiality assessment, and undergoes limited assurance moving toward reasonable assurance.

SEC climate-disclosure rule (final March 2024) requires registered companies to disclose climate-related financial information in 10-K filings; litigation has paused the rule but the disclosure expectation is already shaping SEC filings. ISSB IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) is being adopted by national jurisdictions (UK, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea moving fast). California SB 261 + SB 253 create state-level US disclosure for revenue thresholds.

Enterprise clients with global footprint must build a single climate-disclosure programme that satisfies multiple frameworks. The interoperability between CSRD/ESRS, SEC, ISSB, and TCFD is real but not seamless. Material differences in scope (financed emissions, Scope 3 categories, double materiality, location-vs-market-based) require deliberate programme design.

This course teaches the 10-week build of the multi-framework climate-disclosure programme: double-materiality assessment, governance framework, scenario analysis, emissions inventory (Scope 1, 2, 3), risk and opportunity assessment, target setting, and reporting workflow. Twelve modules, each ending with a deliverable artefact. Plus a hand-built implementation playbook for your specific client engagement profile.

A documented double-materiality assessment methodology.
A climate-governance framework aligned to TCFD, CSRD, ISSB.
A climate-scenario analysis methodology.
A Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions inventory methodology.
A climate risk and opportunity register.
A target-setting framework (SBTi-aligned).
A multi-framework reporting workflow.
A 10-week build plan.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Climate-disclosure regulatory landscape 2026

Detailed walkthrough of CSRD (EU 2022/2464), ESRS E1 (Climate change), SEC climate rule (final March 2024, litigation status), ISSB IFRS S2 (national-jurisdiction adoption), California SB 253 + SB 261, UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards, TCFD recommendations (now baseline). Interoperability points and material differences. Phased application timelines.

Module 2. Double-materiality assessment

CSRD/ESRS requires double-materiality: impact materiality (impact on people and environment) and financial materiality (impact on enterprise value). Build the double-materiality assessment methodology: stakeholder engagement, impact identification and prioritisation, financial materiality assessment, materiality matrix construction, and the documentation requirement. Deliverable: double-materiality assessment methodology and first-pass matrix.

Module 3. Climate governance framework

Build the climate-governance framework: board-level oversight (committee structure, frequency), management-level climate-risk committee, Chief Sustainability Officer designation, climate-risk integration with ERM, climate-policy, and the executive-compensation linkage. Aligned to TCFD Governance, ESRS GOV-1 through GOV-5, SEC governance disclosure, ISSB Governance. Deliverable: climate-governance framework.

Module 4. Climate-scenario analysis

Build the scenario-analysis methodology: scenario selection (NGFS Orderly/Disorderly/Hot House, IEA Net Zero 2050, IPCC RCP 2.6 + 8.5), time-horizon model (short-medium-long), scenario-narrative construction, financial-impact quantification, and the integration with strategic planning. ESRS E1-3 + ISSB IFRS S2 scenario requirements. Deliverable: scenario-analysis methodology.

Module 5. Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory

Build the Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory: organisational boundary (operational-control vs financial-control vs equity-share), operational boundary, GHG Protocol Corporate Standard compliance, location-based and market-based Scope 2, renewable-energy claim quality (REC vs PPA vs on-site generation), and data-quality framework. Deliverable: Scope 1 and 2 inventory methodology.

Module 6. Scope 3 emissions inventory

Scope 3 is the disclosure battleground. Build the Scope 3 inventory: 15 categories (GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard), screening for materiality, methodology selection (spend-based, average-data, supplier-specific), upstream and downstream categories, financed emissions (PCAF for financial-sector clients) and insurance-associated emissions. Materiality threshold for limited assurance. Deliverable: Scope 3 inventory methodology.

Module 7. Climate risk and opportunity assessment

Build the climate risk-and-opportunity register: physical-risk (acute and chronic), transition-risk (policy, technology, market, reputation), opportunity assessment (resource efficiency, energy source, products and services, markets, resilience), and the financial-impact quantification. Aligned to TCFD, ESRS E1-1 through E1-9, ISSB IFRS S2. Deliverable: climate risk and opportunity register.

Module 8. Target setting and transition plan

Build the target-setting framework: science-based targets (SBTi 1.5 degrees pathway, FLAG sector, Net Zero), interim and long-term targets, scope-coverage, and the transition-plan (CSRD requirement, also expected by SEC, ISSB). Transition-plan content: levers, capital allocation, governance, key dependencies, and uncertainty. Deliverable: target-setting framework and transition-plan template.

Module 9. Limited assurance readiness and data systems

CSRD requires limited assurance from year 1, reasonable assurance later. Build the assurance-readiness: data-system architecture (carbon-accounting software selection: Watershed, Persefoni, Sweep, Greenly, Salesforce Net Zero Cloud, Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability), data-quality and lineage, internal-control documentation, and the assurer-engagement model. Deliverable: assurance-readiness document.

Module 10. ESRS reporting workflow and digital-tagging

Build the ESRS reporting workflow: ESRS disclosure requirement mapping (E1 plus general standards), digital-tagging requirement (ESRS XBRL taxonomy), narrative-and-quantitative integration, cross-reference management, and the publication workflow (annual report integration). Three worked examples of CSRD reports from large enterprises. Deliverable: ESRS reporting workflow document.

Module 11. Multi-framework alignment matrix

Build the multi-framework alignment matrix: ESRS E1 vs SEC climate rule vs ISSB IFRS S2 vs TCFD vs SBTi requirement-by-requirement, identifying overlaps and gaps. Use the alignment matrix to design a single data architecture that satisfies multiple disclosures. The matrix is the productisation moat for your engagement. Deliverable: multi-framework alignment matrix.

Module 12. Your 10-week client engagement plan

Week-by-week plan with weekly deliverables for client engagement. Weeks 1-2: regulatory mapping for client + double-materiality assessment. Weeks 3-4: climate-governance framework + scenario-analysis methodology. Weeks 5-6: Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions inventory methodology. Weeks 7-8: climate risk-and-opportunity register + target-setting framework. Weeks 9-10: assurance readiness + reporting workflow + multi-framework alignment. Deliverable: full client climate-disclosure programme.

Before and after

Before

Your firm ships enterprise client engagements. Climate disclosure work is on the project pipeline. The programme pack does not exist. Client CFO and audit committee are asking for support.

After

A documented climate-disclosure programme is shippable to client engagements. Double-materiality assessment is tailored. Governance, scenario, inventory, risk register, target setting, and reporting workflow are in place. The practice has a productised climate-disclosure offering.

What happens if you do not address this

CSRD reporting is now mandatory for in-scope companies. Limited assurance starts year 1. Enterprises without a programme are forming under deadline pressure. Consulting firms without a shippable offering lose these engagements.

Who it is for

For sustainability consultants, climate-strategy leads, ESG-programme owners, and consulting practice leaders shipping climate-disclosure engagements to enterprise clients.

Who this is NOT for. Pure research roles. Clients with no public reporting obligation. Firms not building sustainability engagements.

How it arrives

Text-based course via LMS, plus downloadable templates and the hand-built implementation playbook.

Time investment. Roughly 18 hours of reading and 40 to 60 hours building the first client engagement deliverable.

Why $199 is the right number

External CSRD consultants charge $300K-$2M for the programme build. Big4 sustainability advisory engagement runs $500K-$3M. Specialist climate consultants (3Degrees, South Pole, Trucost) charge $200K-$1M. $199 buys the focused playbook plus the implementation document for your client engagement profile.

FAQ

Will this replace hiring a CSRD specialist?

Partially. It teaches you the programme build. You may still want specialist input for complex Scope 3 financed-emissions methodology.

What if my client is non-EU but has EU subsidiaries?

Module 1 covers extraterritorial CSRD application to non-EU parents with EU operations.

Does this cover transition-plan content specifically?

Module 8 covers the transition-plan template aligned to CSRD requirements and TPT (Transition Plan Taskforce) guidance.

What about California SB 253 (Scope 3 mandate) for clients in California?

Module 6 covers California SB 253 Scope 3 requirements as adjacent framework.

What is in the implementation playbook for me specifically?

A regulatory mapping tailored to your typical client engagement profile; a double-materiality assessment template; a 10-week build plan.
