Having joined IASE a few months ago I am delighted to have completed my first IASE designation. I consider it as a stepping-stone in achieving more @iase designations and progressing in the #ESG field. This will allow me to respond to the ESG knowledge needs of professionals, especially in the financial sector, and to be at the forefront of a new certification model, both in terms of content and processes, guaranteeing me a first class upskill to address the reality of our environment with a complete vision of sustainable development.

A year ago I made a career switch from law into ESG. With the ESG profession attracting some much interest, I knew that I needed to obtain a reputable qualification in order to standout. So, when I came across IASE’s ISB designation I never looked back.
The program seemed scary at first given my work commitments. However, the flexibility of the online courses and exams allowed me to balance work and studies seamlessly. Today, having achieved my ISB, I cannot think of a better career decision I have made over the last year. I feel a complete sense of pride and satisfaction knowing that holding this qualification means that I measure up with my peers around the world.
