The network of professionals working towards sustainable development in different industries was able to actively exchange knowledge, participate in capacity-building trainings on sustainable development planning, and implement sustainable development solutions. The number of CSDP has grown considerably these past few years, and we have organized site visits, trainings, seminars, and professional networking events on the theme of sustainable development for the CSDP network. Furthermore, the certification also demonstrates an individual's effort and achievement in sustainable development planning, allowing the individual to use the logo of CSDP on their business cards.
