Advanced Programme on Sustainable Finance: Sustainable Finance in Investment Management
Global sustainability challenges – including climate change, natural resource depletion, and rising inequality – are affecting the commercial environment in a way that presents both risks and opportunities for the financial sector.
The "Advanced Programme on Sustainable Finance” courses are giving you the knowledge and tools needed to address and take advantage of these changes. The course topics including sustainability goals and ESG-related risks, are perfect for business and risk managers, compliance officers, investment professionals, management consultants, and financial analysts of all types, as delivering impact by sustainable finance and resilience to ESG risks are increasingly important for financial institutions. We therefore aim at helping finance professionals to manage the risks and opportunities arising from the transition to a more sustainable economy, as well as its financial and non-financial impact.
