CFA UK, part of the global association for investment professionals, CFA Institute, has launched a new qualification in ESG investing.

The Certificate in ESG Investing will be an organisation that promotes responsible investments.

Its introduction follows an increase in interest in ESG from investors in recent years and will help to meet the investment sector’s growing demand for further education, guidance and standards around ESG.

The qualification outlines the fundamentals for ESG investing and aims to give professionals the skills and knowledge to integrate ESG issues into their day-to-day work.
