Can you spot the reporting gap?
Try a short, fictional example of the evidence-checking mindset covered in the syllabus. This preview is not an assessed course exercise or a claim about a real company.
The fictional company claim
Harbour Office Ltd drafts this sentence for its ESG report: “We reduced electricity consumption by 20% year on year.”
Draft internal figure.
Three questions to ask
Does the percentage match?
Calculate the decrease from the two figures before accepting the claim.
What evidence is still missing?
Consider source records, reporting periods and whether the same sites are covered in both years.
Who signs off?
Identify who owns the electricity data and who approves the public wording.
Show a possible answer
The decrease is 10%, not 20%: (1,000 − 900) ÷ 1,000. Before publication, check bills or meter records, unit conversions, dates, boundaries and internal approval. The numbers alone do not establish why consumption changed.
Why this matters: the full syllabus includes comparing public ESG reports and identifying missing evidence. This is a small illustrative preview, not a substitute for the course.
Read the detailed syllabus or review the confirmed instructor and ask the course team about the exam standard before paying.
