Customer feedback and comments
The workshop provided a good understanding of ESG concepts.
Training session content was well organized with proper industrial examples.
Good session on driving the ESG goals in organization. Helped in better understand the defining the ESG criteria, governance module, Materiality analysis, USDG goas & its impact, ESG regulation's, Risks & opportunities etc.,
This level of overview should be given to every employee to understand ESG goals of UPL. Lot of information was shared. Need learning how to implement in individual KPI.
The content was really good. It would be nice to have a bit more time for discussion about our experiences with the topic in our own positions and how we could implement these values.
The content of the training is extensive and very informative. In this line, I would put in place two different trainings on ESG, one for leaders and management and other for employees
