The executive challenge

The problem this program solves

The sustainability report describes ambition the operations cannot verify: plastics commitments made in good faith and defended with estimated data. Markets price credibility: unverifiable plastics performance is paid for in cost of capital, lost contracts and customer trust. This programme treats plastics as strategy and risk: credible targets, disclosure-grade data, bankable projects and a plan that survives scrutiny.

Context

Why this matters now

Carbon border adjustments and green capital rules are rewriting the economics of plastics for African producers.
Commitments made in this decade’s plastics reports will be audited in the next.
The first assurance engagements on plastics statements are arriving — and finding data that cannot yet defend itself.

Capability

What you will be able to do

  • Build a credible plastics transition plan — targets, baselines, sequencing and capital.
  • Lead plastics as strategy and risk, not as brochure-ware.
  • Mobilise green and blended finance for plastics projects.
  • Defend a plastics position before investors, lenders and communities.

The IPAT Course Standard

The five-day journey

Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.

IPAT Signature Case™

The Green Bond With a Leaky Framework

A mini-grid developer issued the region’s first green bond to strong demand. Six months later, an NGO alleges 30% of proceeds financed activities the framework never intended — and the framework was written by the deal team, not by risk.

Your decision: Decide the response: disclosure, remediation, and who owns the next plastics framework.

IPAT Data Lab™

The plastics claims in a mini-grid developer’s report cannot survive an assurance engagement — yet.

Dataset: Synthetic ESG data-pipeline extracts with estimation gaps and inconsistent boundaries.

Your task: Repair the pipeline, rebuild the disclosure-grade numbers, and run the assurance pre-check.
