Sustainable finance and ESG insight:gain the tools and knowledge to thrive in today´s evolving market

This course addresses the growing imperative for deeper sustainable finance education and guidance in corporates. It acknowledges the extraordinary trend among businesses and within our society. There is a surge in regulation and increasing adoption of Environmental, Social and Governance criteria into corporate decision-making processes.

 

We all need to speak the “ESG language” or being at risk of becoming obsolete in our business practices. Though this course, participants will gain insights into the evolving landscape of regulation and market environment, where sustainability is not just a trend, but a critical driver of long-term value creation and resilience for businesses.

 

The course will assess the role of the finance community in sustainability and examine the underlying issues that constitute factors within each of the Environmental, Social and Governance areas. It also delves into the varying financial materiality of these factors across businesses and the implementation of sustainable investment strategies. Through case studies and analyses, we explore how integrating sustainability principles can impact corporate strategies, risk management, and financial performance.

 

On behalf of IE Executive Education, we would like to invite you to this webinar in which Professors Nieves Benito and Braulio Pareja, will address this matter
