This programme is one of the eligible programmes under the Pilot Green and Sustainable Finance Capacity Building Support Scheme, and students who successfully complete it will be eligible to apply for the Certified ESG Professional – Real Estate (CESGP® – RE) designation from the Institute of ESG & Benchmark (IESGB).

Highlights

In 2021, the Government announced Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050, which outlined four major decarbonisation strategies, namely “net-zero electricity generation”, “energy saving and green buildings”, “green transport” and “waste reduction”, that would lead Hong Kong towards the goal of carbon neutrality before 2050, thus, the Real Estate Sector is well positioned to use its influence to address ESG issues and drive better sustainable outcomes. This programme is developed for Real Estate practitioners to equip themselves with knowledge and technical skills to handle job duties related to ESG.
