How to Actually Start in ESG with Shreya Gupta | ESG Career Mentor

Most people don't struggle with ESG because it's hard. They struggle because they learn it in the wrong order — certifications first, frameworks second, and clarity never.

This playbook fixes that.

Built from 4 years working across CDP, EY and Capgemini's sustainability practices, it walks you through:

• Why companies actually care about ESG — before you touch a single framework
• The 5-stage roadmap to learn ESG properly, without drowning in acronyms
• A plain-language decode of GRI, CSRD, BRSR, TCFD, CDP, SBTi, GHG Protocol and CBAM
• The 5 skills that matter more than another certificate
• The mistakes almost every beginner makes — and how to skip them

No jargon for the sake of jargon. No 6-month course. Just the map I wish someone had handed me before I started.

Read it in one sitting, and you'll know — is ESG genuinely your next move, or are you trying to solve a different problem with a career switch.
