ESG Institute Bangladesh Authorised as IFRS FSA Credential Approved Education Provider
ESG Institute Bangladesh is now an IFRS FSA Credential Approved Education Provider. July 2026 batch open to candidates worldwide
Why This Matters for Bangladesh
Bangladesh is among the economies most exposed to climate-related financial risk, and local regulators and financial institutions are increasingly aligning with global sustainability disclosure frameworks. Bangladesh Bank's Sustainable Finance Policy, growing pressure on RMG and export sectors to meet international ESG reporting standards, and the global push for ISSB adoption are creating urgent demand for professionals who understand sustainability disclosure at a sophisticated level.
Until now, Bangladeshi professionals seeking the FSA Credential had no locally based preparation option. ESGIB's authorisation changes that - bringing a globally recognised, IFRS Foundation-backed credential within reach of professionals across the country's banking, finance, corporate, and consulting sectors.
About the FSA Credential
The FSA Credential, developed by the IFRS Foundation, is the most advanced credential related to the ISSB Standards. With over 8,000 candidates from more than 60 countries, it is designed for corporate professionals, investment analysts, auditors, consultants, and students who need to understand, apply, and lead on sustainability disclosure. The credential covers IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, SASB industry-specific frameworks, and the integration of sustainability information into financial analysis and valuation.
The credential comprises two levels, each assessed through a two-hour online examination:
Level I - Principles and practices: sustainability disclosure standards, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, materiality, and how sustainability information informs corporate strategy and investor decisions.
Level II - Application and analysis: identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities, normalising sustainability data, and connecting sustainability to valuation models.
Programme Details
ESGIB will deliver live, instructor-led FSA Credential preparation courses online in English. The first batch opens in July 2026 and is open to candidates in Bangladesh and worldwide. Exam fees are priced according to the World Bank's country income classification, with Bangladesh classified as a lower-middle income country, making the credential significantly more affordable for local candidates than the standard high-income country rate.
