I’m trying to get into sustainability career-wise (currently pursuing an MBA with a specialization in sustainability and disruptive innovation). My background is cyber consulting. To help, I want to get a certification. I’m thinking maybe the sustainability excellence associate from ISSP or the SCR cert from GARP. Anyone have any advice? Or recommendations?

GARP is a good certification, but I wouldn’t put as much stock in the alphabet soup of certifications. When I’m hiring for my team, I focus most of the practical knowledge and experience. The GHG Protocol training is important and some of the framework trainings, like SASB and TCFD, but if you have an opportunity to get practical experience in those areas, that for me is stronger.

6 years ago, I bought a cheap used EV with a short range. I wanted the first hand experience of range anxiety, charging at home, etc. Now I have first hand deep understanding of the key issues and opportunities around the electric vehicle transition when I read industry reports and analysis.

I think it is the same for GHG accounting. Just do it as a test. Use the protocols on yourself. What are your Scope 1 and 2? Easy. More complicated, what are your Scope 3? Could do a high level materiality assessment.

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
