The International Association for Sustainable Economics (IASE) and ClimateTrade are teaming up to promote emissions offsetting in the business world

October 19 22:10 2020

LONDON, UK – International Association for Sustainable Economy (IASE), the global standards setting body for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) professionals and owner of the INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABLE FINANCE (ISF) and INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS (ISB) certification programs, and ClimateTrade today announced that they have signed a support and collaboration agreement teaming up to promote emissions offsetting in the business around the world. This alliance is the result of a corporate social commitment that is increasingly evident and essential.

 

The criteria of the Environmental, Social and Governance/Gender (ESG) process are positioned as fundamental pillars of corporate growth. The most outstanding trends within ESG cover climate change, innovation, work-life balance and gender diversity.  These are areas which require professionals who can make a positive impact on society, the company and the environment.

The Association has two types of certifications, which enjoy the highest prestige, designed with the collaboration of academics with great expertise, for those who seek to demonstrate their commitment to ESG.

The ISF and ISB certifications promoted by IASE are aimed at people with different professional profiles who wish, through excellent training, to acquire the essential skills and knowledge to know and comply with the ethical and governance codes required in the new business environment.

Offsetting emissions is the reflection of a solid environmental commitment. It consists of the voluntary contribution of an economic amount, proportional to the tons of CO2 generated, which is invested in reforestation, savings and energy efficiency projects. This action has a triple objective: to combat climate change, to eradicate poverty and to support local development.

This alliance supports the 2050 objectives set out in the Paris Agreement, reflected in the European Union’s Green Pact and a greater ambition for the Union’s climate objectives. It envisions a future in which our society understands the importance and benefits of ESG criteria and how it can improve our lives. So that consumers can easily identify qualified and ethical professionals who put Environmental, Social and Governance/Gender interests first. It will also serve as a channel for knowledge exchange and business development opportunities, offering an identification of market trends and needs.
