The Impact Manager plays a key role in managing corporate processes and the performance parameters by which they are measured (KPIs) from a digital (D), environmental (E), social (S), and good governance (G) perspective. These KPIs need to be horizontally integrated into every aspect of corporate life.
The role of the Corporate Impact Manager involves the following activities:

- Sharing of strategic D-ESG content within the company and with external stakeholders.
- Definition of a plan for implementing shared D-ESG content.
- Coordination of processes and activities aimed at implementing D-ESG content.
- Monitoring and internal reporting of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as outputs of implementation processes periodically.
- External communication of integrated D-ESG performance.
- Planning and management of actions to achieve a D-ESG Rating.
Essential for this role will be cross-cutting knowledge and skills, both managerial and technical.
WHY CHOOSE THIS MASTER’S DEGREE:
EUROPEAN UNION AND INSTITUTIONS
With the signing of the Paris Agreement on Climate and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the European Union requires companies to disclose information on social and environmental issues, leading to increased investments in responsible initiatives.
PEOPLE
The number of eco-active and conscious consumers continues to grow, choosing companies, products, and services based on the ESG strategies they adopt. Therefore, a company’s ability to create value must consider economic indicators, but it can no longer ignore ESG performance.
BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
ESG certification is a crucial requirement to access financing from banks and other institutions operating in financial markets, demonstrating companies’ commitment to contributing to sustainability goals.
BUSINESSES
Adopting sustainable business models is no longer a choice but a requirement to remain competitive. Small and medium-sized enterprises are, therefore, pushed to become more sustainable, transparent and pursue ESG certification, even without explicit legal obligations.
