Certificate Program
With global members across 195 countries, GARP is known for
providing comprehensive risk education programs. GARP offers the
leading global certification for risk managers with the Financial
Risk Manager (FRM®) Certification as well as the SCR
Certificate.
Developed by world-leading senior risk practitioners, climate
experts and sustainability professionals and launched in
January 2020, GARP's SCR Certificate
Program provides pivotal knowledge into the complex territories of
sustainability and climate risk, as well as key insights into
regulatory initiatives, reporting requirements, green finance
instruments, nature risk, and transition planning across ten
modules. The program is designed to accommodate global
professionals, with test sites located around the world.
"GARP's SCR Program equips candidates to understand and apply a
range of knowledge and skills necessary to function effectively as
a sustainability and climate risk specialist," said Mike Wallace, Chief Decarbonization Officer at
Persefoni.
Persefoni recently released its Persefoni Pro platform, an
enterprise-grade tool that enables businesses to create accurate
carbon footprints and measure scopes 1 and 2 emissions (scope 3
integration is weeks away). By integrating Persefoni Pro into the
SCR Program, GARP provides candidates with a practical
understanding of how the foundational greenhouse gas accounting and
reporting skills they learn in the SCR curriculum can be applied to
accelerate their organization's carbon neutrality and
sustainability goals. This collaboration ensures that SCR
candidates and SCR Certificate Holders are well-equipped to lead
their organizations in navigating climate-related challenges and
opportunities.
"GARP's partnership with Persefoni underscores its commitment to
preparing professionals to practically address some of the most
critical risks of our time," said Beth
Creller, SCR Program Manager.
