The IfS with its many equals established a baseline definition of what Sustainability entails, a Body of Knowledge (BOK) in the field of sustainability. This Body of Knowledge at the heart of the new sustainability Credential is based on the AIChE Sustainability Index and focuses on the seven areas critical to a world class sustainability effort: strategic commitment, innovation, environmental performance, safety performance, product stewardship, social responsibility and value chain management.
Build Core Competencies for World-Class Sustainability with ACSP
The AIChE Credential for Sustainability Professionals (ACSP) will distinguish recipients as qualified experts in sustainability, and will be supportive to those engineers who aspire to the Professional Engineering License. The program is also designed to help companies control training costs by pooling expertise and by providing readily accessible resources that have been evaluated for quality.
The Institute has conducted a market analysis, and the results say that younger engineers, in particular, are very interested in such a credential.
