ACCA Launches Professional Diploma In Sustainability
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Professional Diploma in Sustainability is specifically designed to equip finance professionals with in-depth knowledge in sustainability frameworks and ethics.
As the global focus shifts towards responsible business practices, finance professionals must integrate sustainability into their roles. Employers across industries are actively seeking professionals equipped with the skills to navigate these shifts, making sustainability education a key differentiator in today’s job market. In response to growing demand from businesses and professional accountants, ACCA has launched a pioneering professional diploma in sustainability, designed for finance professionals at all levels who are looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainability and accreditation to prove it.
Businesses often lack the essential skills to support the move to more sustainable business models and urgently need the skills to consider non-financial as well as financial business drivers, according to research by ACCA.
The professional diploma brings together high-quality learning support and assessment, aligning with the increasing demand from employers, as well as individuals, wishing to pursue the widening career opportunities related to sustainability and emerging regulatory requirements around the world.
ACCA has been working closely with regulators globally on their requirements for sustainability auditors and this new professional diploma has been designed to meet their needs. Once completed, the professional diploma provides a comprehensive accreditation in the core areas of sustainability.
This leading-edge qualification builds on the increasing number of sustainability learning opportunities ACCA has added to its portfolio in recent years, as well as the addition of more sustainability content into the ACCA Qualification.
The Professional Diploma in Sustainability consists of a comprehensive, integrated learning programme, in-depth knowledge, a revision kit and a three-hour exam. Offering over 60 hours of learning and practice across four certificates and one exam, learners will gain in-depth knowledge of sustainability frameworks and ethics, sustainability strategy and management, sustainability reporting and sustainability assurance.
Enrollment is now open and learners can sign up through ACCA Learning, ACCA’s dedicated continuing learning platform for finance professionals.
