ESG Online Courses Now Open! (Marquette)

ESG Courses at Marquette University are available for professionals to attend today!
 
New environmental, social, and governance (ESG) courses to serve as preparatory courses for industry-driven certifications for accounting, investment professionals and ESG leaders, offered to professional learners in an asynchronous format, with one course on a hybrid online/live platform. The timeliness of these offerings coincides with the new SEC Climate Disclosure rules.

In the U.S., not just public companies will be subject to the SEC requirements; “Scope 2 and 3” reporting will impact thousands of private companies, too, who contribute as suppliers and partners to these companies. Corporations are in a unique position today to elevate ESG practices in partnership with Marquette University. Prepare your organization today for the ESG requirements of tomorrow!

Vouchers are included for participants to access the Fundamentals of Sustainability Accounting (FSA) Credential™ (FSA I, FSA II teaching to the SASB Standards) by the IFRS Foundation, and the Certificate in ESG Investing by the CFA Institute.
