The design and development of this certificate is the result of a collaborative effort between faculty and staff from the Yale School of Management, the Yale School of the Environment, and Yale College, as well as a diverse group of industry advisors and content contributors.

Vero Bourg-Meyer (Yale Center for Business and the Environment) leads the program in collaboration with Daniel Gross (Yale School of the Environment), Robert J. Klee (Yale School of the Environment and Yale Law School), Dan Esty (Yale School of the Environment and Yale Law School), Michael Oristaglio (Yale College, Earth and Planetary Sciences), and Richard Kauffman (Yale School of Management).

The program's delivery is led by Coral Bielecki (Yale Center for Business and the Environment) and Trent Cummings (Yale Center for Business and the Environment), drawing heavily on feedback and contributions from experts from Yale alumni networks and from CBEY’s industry partners to serve as either guest lecturers, interviewees, or advisors.

Partner organizations include the Yale Initiative on Sustainable Finance, the Connecticut Green Bank, the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, Inclusive Prosperity Capital, and the Coalition for Green Capital.
