Stakeholders including Governments, investors and environmentalists are increasingly pressuring management regarding environmental performance.

At the same time, opportunities for competitive differentiation are emerging, energy and other input costs are rising, risks from climate change are becoming more visible, and carbon markets are evolving.

These considerations all factor into a continuous increase in the price of carbon that directly impacts the costs of doing business for companies producing or using energy.

Delivering Climate Change Services (CSS) for these companies cannot be accomplished without harnessing sound knowledge and specific skills necessary for providing business risk advisory and auditing services in a changing emissions regulations market.

Managing these risks and opportunities can be achieved through the programs and services that ACGTA Membership provides. 

Corporate Sustainability professionals and CSR specialists are in demand.  Companies are hiring Chief Sustainability Officers and analysts to produce CSR reports.

The need for these professionals came not only from the desire for corporations to make their business processes more efficient and sustainable, or to demonstrate that they are being good corporate citizens, but is also driven by increasing regulatory requirements.

ACGTA certified corporate sustainability professionals have the practical skills to deliver on corporate requirements relating to sustainability, and being good corporate citizens.

ACGTA Membership is a first step to acquiring these skills.
