Stewardship managers at investors (e.g. in asset management companies, pension funds or family offices) have an increasingly strategic but also complex role. Caught between the pressure to generate returns, fulfil ethical and regulatory requirements as well as social expectations, they not only have to think strategically, but also implement operationally in a complex environment - often with limited resources.

While codes of stewardship best practice exist, the stewardship discipline now requires essential features of a profession: an accepted, rigorous framework to define the necessary recognized professional qualifications and skills; and a common platform for information sharing on stewardship jobs, remuneration tracks, and career paths.

We are providing this platform with the Certified Stewardship Professional (CSP©) Accreditation, an interactive e-learning course developed by globally renowned experts in sustainability, corporate governance and stewardship.
