Course Aims | ||||||||||
The world is changing and it is dominated by environmental and social risk. Faced with these challenges, Environmental Social Governance (ESG) is a response formulated by business to do the "right" thing. ESG refers to three key factors when measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business or company. We look at the principles of ESG, how to apply materiality and how to deal with issues of transparency and disclosure as well as the business case for ESG. Sustainable finance is part of ESG and ranges from green bonds and renewable infrastructure to thematic strategies that allow clients to align their capital with specific outcomes. Lastly we look at impact measurement and risk management from an ESG practitioner's viewpoint. | ||||||||||
