Sustainability Professionals Certification Program gains momentum
Since the beginning of 2015, more than 50 organizations and individuals have declared their support of efforts by The International Society of Sustainability Professionals (ISSP) to launch the ISSP Sustainability Professionals Certification Program. Additionally, ISSP Executive Director Maureen Hart has been invited by the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD) to present details of the certification program to CEDD members later this month in Washington, DC.
Hart will provide an overview of the ISSP Sustainability Professionals Certification Program to CEDD members at the CEDD Winter Conference on January 30. CEDD is a program of the National Council for Science and the Environment, and is comprised of environmental leaders from 200 institutions of higher education in the United States.
“The reception we've received to our announcement that we plan to launch a certification program for sustainability professionals by the end of this year has been tremendous,” says ISSP's Hart. “We've secured declarations of support from dozens of organizations and individuals in just the last few weeks, and the list of supporters continues to grow daily.”
