The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has revealed how it will work with the International Association for Sustainable Economy (IASE) to create ESG qualifications.

The International Association for Sustainable Economy aims to urge governments worldwide to align their economic aid and COVID-19 recovery efforts with the latest climate science and to issue ESG certification.

Based in London, IASE is chaired by Javier Manzanares Allen, who currently holds the position of Deputy Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund.

Mr Allen said: "IASE seeks to be the reference in ESG at an international level that aspires to deepen the sustainable development of our society by certifying professionals in ESG matters and in an environment of continuous innovation. The association will initially have two types of certification, the first (International Sustainable Finance) aimed at the financial sector, with specialisations in the banking, insurance, savings banks and microfinance sector, and the second (International Sustainable Business) aimed at the business sector.”
