About CES

Introducing the Certified ESG Specialist (CES) program, a prestigious educational initiative offered by the International Guild of ESG and Sustainable Development (IGESG). CES stands as a professional title, symbolizing expertise and dedication to ESG principles. Designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills essential for navigating the complexities of sustainability.
The first module, aptly named "Anti-Greenwashing," serves as an essential foundation in the CES journey. In today's landscape, where sustainability claims abound, combating greenwashing—misleading or false sustainability marketing—is paramount. This module explores the importance of Anti-greenwashing from the legal perspective on various related law regulations in HK and PRC.
Participants in the Anti-Greenwashing module delve into the nuances of identifying, addressing, and preventing greenwashing practices in banking industries. Through interactive learning experiences and expert-led instruction, students gain a deep understanding of greenwashing related law regulations in HK & PRC and the remedial action to be taken when facing greenwashing challenges .
Upon successful completion of the Anti-Greenwashing module, participants earn the prestigious title of Certified ESG Specialist (Anti-Greenwashing) and the initials CES (Anti-Greenwashing) can be used after their name, marking their commitment to upholding integrity and authenticity in sustainability efforts. This program not only enhances individual professional capabilities but also contributes to fostering a culture of accountability and credibility within the global sustainability community.
