“GARP’s SCR Program equips candidates to understand and apply a range of knowledge and skills necessary to function effectively as a sustainability and climate risk specialist,” said Mike Wallace, Chief Decarbonization Officer at Persefoni.
Persefoni recently released its Persefoni Pro platform, an enterprise-grade tool that enables businesses to create accurate carbon footprints and measure scopes 1 and 2 emissions (scope 3 integration is weeks away). By integrating Persefoni Pro into the SCR Program, GARP provides candidates with a practical understanding of how the foundational greenhouse gas accounting and reporting skills they learn in the SCR curriculum can be applied to accelerate their organization’s carbon neutrality and sustainability goals. This collaboration ensures that SCR candidates and SCR Certificate Holders are well-equipped to lead their organizations in navigating climate-related challenges and opportunities.
“GARP’s partnership with Persefoni underscores its commitment to preparing professionals to practically address some of the most critical risks of our time,” said Beth Creller, SCR Program Manager.
Early registration for the October SCR Exam ends on July 31, with standard registration available until September 30.
