Competent Boards and SCERTIFY Team Up to Provide ESG Training Program for Board Members and Business Professionals

Competent Boards and SCERTIFY have announced an exciting partnership to expand the world-renowned Competent Boards ESG Certificate & Designation Program.

TORONTO, ON, CANADA, December 2, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SCERTIFY, an Athena Advisory Brand, will be offering one of the first Asia-Pacific Competent Boards ESG Certificate & Designation Program courses to provide more options for board directors, executives and specialists seeking environmental, social and governance (ESG) training.

More than 100 global experts and industry leaders will contribute to the program via interactive sessions, fireside chats, case studies and more. Facilitated by SCERTIFY and powered by Competent Boards, the ESG Competent Boards Certificate & Designation Program will comprise 12 sessions:

1) New Risks and Expectations for Boards, Executives, and Investors
