Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are important to integrate into the introductory accounting courses. Students care about sustainability – and it is important to show how accounting supports ESG. Introductory courses are full already, so we have taken the approach that integrates ESG material into existing course frameworks. We have developed introductory ESG projects that are suitable for students to do on their own without requiring class time. We have developed company ESG reports for an industry that are based on real companies. We provide students with information about how they should find the information within those reports that is needed to prepare an ESG dashboard. We provide step-by-step video instructions about ESG and how to prepare an Excel dashboard representing the ESG information. In addition, we provide discussion questions for assessment. When students complete these projects, they gain experience in data gathering, data analysis, and ESG metric interpretation.
