The Bachelor of Science in Environment and Sustainable Business is a four-year undergraduate programme that is jointly offered by the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) and the College of Business (CB). The programme is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of sustainable business and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and their integration in the business world.

By the end of the programme, students will have a comprehensive understanding of sustainable business and ESG, and be able to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. They will also have a solid foundation in the science behind non-financial disclosures, and be familiar with the latest trends and technologies in sustainable energy and other fields in support of investment decision-making for sustainable finance.

The programme will be taught through a combination of lectures, case studies, and interactive discussions, and will feature experiential learning and industry connection via experts sharing (e.g., in guest lectures) from practitioners of leading organizations in Hong Kong. Students will have the opportunity to engage with real-world sustainable business/finance projects and develop practical skills in sustainability assessment, ESG integration, and impact investing. Students will also have a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in practice and ESG challenges and opportunities, and be prepared to pursue careers in this rapidly growing field.

The rationale for starting a new 4-year undergraduate programme in Environment and Sustainable Business is to meet the growing demand for professionals who can integrate ESG considerations into business, finance, and investment decisions. This demand is driven by the recognition that ESG factors are critical to long-term financial performance, and is reflected in the increasing popularity of sustainable investing and the growth of the sustainable finance industry. Hong Kong is well-positioned to take advantage of this growing demand, given its strategic location as a major financial hub and center for international trade and finance.
