Delegates will also examine the main sustainable finance instruments, the ICMA principles and standards established to promote transparency and integrity in the market, with a deep-dive into each instrument’s features, benefits, and applications.

Through case studies and expert-led discussions, delegates will learn how to structure and evaluate ESG frameworks, integrate governance policies, adapt business models that prioritise social and environmental legitimacy, and design portfolio management aligned with net-zero principles.

Upon completing this course, participants will be well-equipped with the knowledge and skills to incorporate ESG values and sustainable practices to the global drive toward sustainability.
