Having joined IASE a few months ago, I am delighted to have completed my first IASE certification. I consider it as a stepping stone in achieving more IASE designations and progressing in the ESG field. This certification enables me to respond to the ESG knowledge needs of professionals, especially those in the financial sector, lead innovation in certification model content and processes, and ensure that my ability to address real-world challenges with a comprehensive vision of sustainable development receives first-class enhancement.

Throughout my career, I have always enhanced my employability through continuing education and fully applied what I have learned to functional practice. Facing new opportunities brought by sustainable development, it is imperative to update my knowledge system in a timely manner. I believe IASE certification will help me fulfil my long-term commitment to my organisation and myself – as professionals, we have the responsibility to maintain cutting-edge knowledge and lead organisations to keep pace with the times. By obtaining IASE certification, I have taken the lead in accepting challenges in the new era of sustainable development, becoming a pioneer within BBVA, which will surely bring positive impacts to the organisation.

I am honoured to be one of the first batch of students in the ISB course in Asia. Before taking the course, my understanding of how sustainable development affects today's business world was relatively limited. The course comprehensively expanded my professional horizons in a systematic way – from fundamental knowledge to advanced content.
