WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT FSA CREDENTIAL?

“If I want to consider myself as an expert in ESG reporting, I need to be able to demonstrate this expertise. This certification is a clear way to demonstrate this.”

Stephanie Berger, Senior Specialist, Corporate Responsibility and Environment BCE Inc.

“A more global focus, as well as the inclusion of ESG integration use cases relevant to fixed income and private equity, enables the FSA to impart the latest developments in global sustainability accounting and disclosure,”

Philipp Buff, Head of Credit Research at Pictet Asset Management and FSA Credential holder

“Preparing for the FSA Credential helped sharpen my analysis of non-financial opportunities and risks and their impact on financial performance.”

Tom Raymond, Director of Environmental Sustainability, Hormel Foods
