The NASBITE CGBP provides a benchmark for competency in global commerce. The CGBP designation demonstrates an individual’s ability to conduct global business including Global Business Management, Global Marketing, Supply Chain Management, and Trade Finance.

For companies, it assures that employees are able to practice global business at the professional level required in today’s competitive environment.
