Sustainable Finance

Sustainable Finance Course Overview

Sustainable finance is permeating all the activities of organisations. Sustainable finance, taking account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in investment decisions, is a key focus for firms and their interaction with multiple stakeholders. This course is aimed at professionals who wish to develop their knowledge and skills for sustainable investment and risk assessment.

With the advent of regulation and reporting requirements surrounding climate risk, firms are finding themselves under increasing pressures to link fundraising to sustainability criteria. This course addresses the needs of managers looking to understand the complex landscape of sustainable financing.

The course will introduce the reporting requirements underpinning sustainability, how these can be linked to financing structures, developments in sustainable investing, and how companies and regulators assess climate-related financial risk.
