I currently have a Master of Arts in Public Administration and am trying to break out of the realm of government and law enforcement.. that being said, I have been pondering the idea of getting certified in Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and sustainable business. Would this be worth the investment or should I leave that to people with a heavy finance background? Just want to be more marketable since my main background is in law enforcement data analysis.

I researched the certification you referenced and found one being offered for free. Is the one you referring to free as well? I always think it’s a good idea to obtain certifications and that concept is even better when they are free.
