Big news for finance professionals: The CFA Institute is giving its well-known Certificate in ESG Investing a fresh new identity! Starting April 8, 2025, the program will be rebranded as the Sustainable Investing Certificate - a shift that reflects the evolving world of responsible finance.

 

Why the Change?

The term “ESG” has sparked plenty of debate worldwide, and interpretations vary across markets. To keep the focus on long-term, impactful investment strategies, the CFA Institute is moving toward a name that better represents the certificate’s core mission. But don’t worry - while the name is changing, the content, curriculum, and global recognition of the certification remain the same, as you can check in CFA FAQ Page on their website: https://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/esg-certification/name-change-faqs#will-anything-else-about-the-certificate-change-. 

 

A New Look for ESGInvestingMock.com

That’s not the only transformation happening in the ESG world. ESGInvestingMock.com, the go-to platform for CFA ESG certification prep, is also getting a major facelift in April! Expect a sleeker design to the new Sustainable Investing Certificate branding.

 

Stay tuned—big things are coming! 🚀
