There is currently a deep rethinking of the purpose served by Companies and the birth of a genuine and expanding determination to place Finance at the service of the overarching long-term goals of Sustainable development. This issue becomes even more important in this period of economic and social uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine War. Sustainability or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are becoming relevant in getting greater insights into company risk and performance. Some of these factors include: climate change, carbon emissions, air and water pollution (E); labor standards, employee engagement, human rights, gender and diversity policies (S); board composition, executive compensation (G). The implications of these factors on companies’ business models provide a new long-term perspective on the financial materiality of firms’ sustainability dimensions. The challenges posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic and wars are bringing to light the materiality of these non-financial factors, reinforcing the linkage between companies and their stakeholders (investors, employees, suppliers, communities, environment, and government). Thus, this course will lead the participants to have base of knowledge and skills to tackle such disorders in corporate life.The transformation towards a sustainable future requires a financial system that is aligned with sustainable development, serving society within our planetary boundaries. As the financial sector, businesses and policymakers are increasingly integrating environmental and social (E&S) sustainability considerations into financial policies, processes and practices, the demand for professionals that combine interdisciplinary knowledge in finance and sustainability is growing as well. This academic-based but practice-oriented introductory course to sustainable finance instruments aims to enable students and professionals to build a solid understanding of the nexus between finance and sustainability as a basis for effectively identifying, assessing and managing sustainability-related risks, impacts and opportunities. They will gain a comprehensive overview of the drivers and trends in sustainable finance, major initiatives at the national and international level as well as key concepts, methodologies and tools to incorporate ESG matters into financial analysis and decision-making in lending and investment processes. Thereby, the course intends to equip participants with the interdisciplinary technical knowledge, academic foundations and practice-oriented skills to bridge the gap between traditional concepts and innovative approaches and thinking in banking and investing as sustainable finance is quickly moving from the niche to the mainstream in business and finance. Some of the quantifiable benefits are summarized below:
✔ Master the aims and principles of sustainable finance
✔ Understand key environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues
✔ Identify impact on business and financial strategy
✔ Develop meaningful tools for sustainable finance reporting
✔ Build financial models to assess sustainable finance and other risks
