Professional Certificate inThe only professional certificate grounded in the GPM Sustainability Competence Standard — built for leaders who need more than sustainability frameworks
Sustainability frameworks tell leaders what to aim for. Most leadership development programs stop there. This certificate goes further — into the design principles, systems thinking practices, and governance structures that determine whether regenerative outcomes are actually achievable in your organization, your community, or your industry.
Developed by GPM and grounded in the GPM Sustainability Competence Standard — the world’s only performance-based competence standard for sustainability professionals — this program covers eight competence units that define what regenerative leadership looks like in practice. It is self-paced, available anywhere, and earns 3.4 IACET-accredited CEUs recognized by employers, universities, and professional associations worldwide.
Most sustainability leadership development teaches awareness. This certificate develops competence — the ability to assess impacts, design regenerative systems, lead complex change, and measure outcomes in ways that hold up under scrutiny.
The curriculum is structured around the eight competence units of the GPM Sustainability Competence Standard for Sustainability Leaders. Each unit is built around what practitioners must be able to do, not just understand.
This certificate is relevant to professionals whose work involves designing, leading, or governing systems change — not those looking for an introductory overview of sustainability concepts.
| Sustainability directors, ESG leads, and CSOs building the internal competency their teams need. |
| Business leaders and executives who need to embed regenerative thinking into strategy and operations. |
| Policymakers and public sector leaders developing frameworks for long-term systems change. |
| Consultants and advisors whose clients need more than compliance — they need transformation. |
| Professionals preparing for or holding the CSP™ (Certified Sustainability Professional) designation. |
This program earns 3.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs), accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). IACET accreditation means your CEUs are recognized by employers, licensing boards, universities, and professional associations globally — including by organizations that require verified professional development for regulatory compliance roles.
Regenerative leadership is not a philosophy. It is a set of practices with defined outcomes. This certificate develops those practices — through a standard built by the organization that has been defining them since 2009.

ESG goals are no longer voluntary. Sustainability reporting is becoming mandatory in major markets. Stakeholders, investors, and regulators are asking organizations to demonstrate — not just declare — sustainable performance. That evidence is generated in projects. The question is whether your project teams have the tools, methods, and knowledge to produce it.
For over 16 years, GPM has been the global standard for sustainable project management — developing the P5™ Standard, the PRiSM™ methodology, and the certification programs that project professionals and organizations now rely on worldwide. GPM training is available directly through GPM, through our global network of Accredited Training Partners, and through PMI.
The data your organization needs for sustainability disclosures is generated in your projects. Training your project teams is not a professional development decision — it is a governance decision.
GPM training is available through three channels. All deliver the same curriculum, the same certification pathway, and the same standard of instruction.
|
On-Site An Accredited Training Partner delivers directly to your team — at your offices or a venue of your choosing. |
|
Virtual or Hybrid Live, instructor-led sessions for distributed teams. The same curriculum and certification pathway, delivered wherever your team is located. |
|
Self-Paced Online On-demand learning for teams that need flexibility or individuals preparing for certification independently. |
Sustainability reporting requirements are tightening across major markets. The EU’s CSRD requires double materiality assessment. CSDDD requires supply chain due diligence. Investors are scrutinizing ESG claims for verifiable evidence. The organizations that will manage this well are those whose project teams already know how to generate that evidence — systematically, at the point of delivery, not retrospectively at reporting time.
| Deliver on ESG and sustainability objectives through projects, not alongside them. |
| Connect project-level performance directly to organizational sustainability reporting and disclosure. |
| Improve risk management with sustainability-focused governance embedded in project delivery. |
| Produce auditable, verifiable sustainability outcomes — not narrative claims. |
The tools, methods, and certifications that define sustainable project management globally were developed by GPM. Training your team with GPM means training with the source — not a derivative.
