ISCF Achieves UN PRI Membership and UK CPD Accreditation, Strengthening Egypt’s Leadership in the Green Transition

In a landmark advancement for sustainability leadership in Egypt and the wider region, the Institute of Sustainability and Carbon Footprint LLC (ISCF) announced its official membership in the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI). This prestigious recognition comes in the same week that ISCF was accredited by the UK CPD Certification Service as an internationally recognized provider of sustainability and carbon management training.

These dual achievements solidify the Institute’s position as a trusted regional hub for high-quality ESG capacity building and advisory services, fully aligned with global best practices in environmental responsibility, social governance, and climate mitigation.

Driving Egypt’s Green Economic Vision

The membership strengthens Egypt’s efforts to transition toward a low-carbon economy and supports the implementation of national climate strategies. Through its expertise in carbon accounting, energy efficiency, and sustainability governance, ISCF will help empower public and private sector organizations to adopt responsible investment models and reduce their environmental footprint.

Ambassador Dr. Mostafa El Sherbiny, CEO of ISCF and Chair of Sustainability & Carbon Footprint at ALECSO, celebrated the milestone:

“Joining the UN PRI reflects our deep commitment to international sustainability standards and reinforces Egypt’s rising role as a regional center of excellence in clean energy and carbon footprint reduction.”

He added:

“The UK CPD accreditation confirms the global standard of our training programs, enabling professionals across Egypt and the Arab world to build the skills required for a green and resilient economy.”

International Recognition That Builds Real Capabilities
