CERISE+SPTF offers free training on social & environmental performance management, client protection

CERISE+SPTF, a partnership of two NGOs, is now offering a pair of three-hour, self-paced online training sessions at no cost. One is focused on protecting the clients of financial services providers, and the other covers the measurement and management of the social and environmental performance of FSPs. CERISE+SPTF also offers longer follow-up courses on both topics for purchase beginning at the equivalent of USD 870. This coursework can lead participants to become certified to audit FSPs on both topics. In addition to hosting trainings, the NGOs convene working groups, set standards and work with individual FSPs to document their achievements and improve their practices. The goals of CERISE and SPTF are to help FSPs and their partners “achieve their social and environmental strategies.”
