Certified Training Program-CESGL®


CESGL® is a professional designation awarded by Social Enterprise Research Academy (SERA) to signify that a professional possesses the competence and leadership to establish the ESG management system, auditing and reporting.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) refers to the three main areas of concern by the investors as the major factors in measuring the sustainable financial return of an investment in a business. Nowadays, more and more stock exchanges are requiring ESG reporting to promote sustainability. However, there is a need for the development, implementation and maintenance of an ESG management system for improving the sustainable performance, rather than merely ESG reporting.

ESG Management System


An effective ESG management system provides the ESG policy, procedures and documents needed to manage the processes towards the realisation of sustainable financial return.

Having customised its online training material to meet the huge market demand for ESG professionals worldwide, SERA is proud to announce its unique online training program in ESG management system, auditing and reporting. After successfully completing the online training program and assessment, the participants will be awarded the CESGL® designation for all professional purposes.
