CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, has announced its role as a founding member of the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI), a new global initiative that aims to provide quality learning programmes, technical assistance, and best practice to support and accelerate the development of sustainable finance in emerging markets and developing economies.
As a founding member, CFA Institute will contribute its significant sustainability-oriented knowledge and educational offerings to help advance capacity-building efforts aimed at fostering sustainable finance development and green investment opportunities that bring long-term benefits to society.
Margaret Franklin, CFA, President and CEO, CFA Institute, said: “Creating sustainable growth is clearly one of the greatest challenges of our time. This cannot be achieved without capacity building in terms of talent development and education. It is crucial to develop more capacity, both at the institutional and individual levels, and we are deeply honoured that CFA Institute is furthering our long-time collaboration with the Institute of Finance and Sustainability through CASI. Collectively, we can contribute to ensuring strong and sustainable growth, by helping build institutional and policy-making capacity.”
