I highly recommend this certification to any sustainability-focused IT professional.

By formally validating my expertise in areas like greenhouse gas accounting and e-waste management, I was able to gain buy-in from leadership on major green initiatives that have since reduced server energy usage by 10% annually. I now feel confident providing guidance on sustainability best practices for cloud platforms and infrastructure thanks to the skills I gained through this certification.

After passing the GSDC sustainability exam, I led cross-functional teams on projects focused on revamping cooling systems and server hardware, leading to impressive cost and electricity savings. The certification gave me the credibility I needed with the executive team to drive these impactful sustainability changes.
