CIMA Operational Case Study
Sustainability pack
Sustainability is now a core component of the CIMA syllabus. At the Operational level, it is a primary bridge between E1 and P1.
In the OCS exam, sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) topics have become a frequent fixture in various exam variants.
Yet, many students provide the weakest answers on this topic.
Why?
Most candidates stick to vague “green” statements rather than providing the specific, operational solutions CIMA examiners are looking for. To score well, you must move beyond theory and demonstrate how sustainability affects costs, risks, and long-term value.
Once you know the frameworks, these marks are easy to pick up. Our Sustainability Pack is designed to give you the technical depth and practical practice needed to secure those crucial marks.
The pack includes:
+ Dedicated sustainability video
+ Comprehensive study text covering ESG, the Triple Bottom Line, and E1/P1 integration
+ 20 sustainability-based questions to test your application across different OCS scenarios
“Get Astranti to do the work for you and just apply yourself to it and you are there. Overwhelming resources especially the industry analysis pack and the ethics pack did the trick.“
“The study materials, the online masterclasses, the analysis of the case study, industry analysis, ethics analysis where vital to my passing”
