RapidBit Exchange has launched the Open ESG Academy, a multilingual, on-demand educational platform aimed at improving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) literacy among individuals and institutions globally. The initiative seeks to address the growing need for accessible, regionally relevant ESG training amid increasing regulatory demands and market expectations.
Developed in collaboration with academic advisors and sustainability professionals, the platform provides self-paced learning modules across three key areas: environmental impact, social inclusion, and governance practices. Participants can access video-based courses, real-world case studies, compliance toolkits, and region-specific regulatory overviews.
“Responsible finance begins with informed decision-making,” said Julia Thompson, Director of Global Education Initiatives at RapidBit Exchange. “Our ESG Academy equips participants with not only the technical vocabulary of ESG, but also the critical thinking skills needed to apply these principles meaningfully in both personal and professional contexts.”
The platform is freely available to all registered users and features a range of interactive tools, including downloadable templates, peer-reviewed checklists, and summaries of ESG regulations by jurisdiction. Learners who complete both foundational and advanced tracks can earn digital certifications for professional use or internal reporting.
Additional features include live webinars hosted by subject-matter experts and forums for peer exchange, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with ESG practitioners, regulators, and institutional partners.
According to RapidBit Exchange, the initiative is part of its broader effort to strengthen socially responsible infrastructure across financial markets. The company has also announced plans to introduce ESG performance dashboards and sustainability analytics to support investor decision-making.
“We believe that ESG should not remain a boardroom discussion. It should be embedded in the everyday decision-making of investors and platforms alike,” added Thompson.
