Dear fishes, has anyone acquired either the CFA ESG certificate or the Sustainability and Climate Risk Certificate (SCR)?

If so, what was the experience like and did it (or has it) assisted you in you career? If so, in what way (and in what sector of work)?

Thanks for the feedback!

I don’t have either certification, but I’ve been recruited for IB jobs in the environmental risk and climate space, and all of them have asked me if I had an SCR.

I know of a large firm having a sustainability practice that requires any of various sustainability certs to be promoted to manager. CFA ESG and GARP SCR are both accepted, as well as LEAD, ISSP, FSA and others
