Since the 1990s, increasing concern over the impacts of economic globalization has led to new
demands for corporations to play a central role in efforts to eliminate poverty, achieve equitable and
accountable systems of governance and ensure environmental security. The mechanisms a company
uses to demonstrate accountability are varied and changes as a company evolves.

Recognizing this gap, APEX Global is introducing a professional qualification training course on
sustainability assurance. Being one of its kind, the IRCA-accredited Certified Sustainability Assurance
Practitioner Training (CSAP) course offers 5-day modules that build expertise in the key elements of
corporate responsibility, which will be useful to companies, practitioners and assurance providers.
