Ensure your investment strategies are driven by environmental, social, and governance factors.
With increasing pressure from regulators, investors, and consumers, sustainable finance has moved from a niche concept to a globally recognized strategic priority.1 This form of financial services, which addresses environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions, is key to addressing some of our global challenges and helping professionals and organizations achieve long-term profitability and success.
The Sustainable Finance and Investment online program explores this rising industry and gives you the skills to navigate the terminology, activity, drivers, and participants of the ESG ecosystem. Developed by the Yale School of Management Executive Education and guided by the school’s mission to educate leaders for business and society, this online program prepares you to harness ESG data to drive financial performance and investment strategies. You’ll explore the challenges of ESG factors within the context of investment decision-making, as well as its effect on asset pricing and portfolio management models. Using data, you’ll learn to assess the impact of an investment, and examine the role of ESG in debt, novel fixed-income products, and private equity investments.
How does this program differ from the Corporate Sustainability Management: Risk, Profit, and Purpose online program?
The Sustainable Finance and Investment online program focuses primarily on equipping you to make more informed analyses and decisions when investing in sustainable assets and products. The Corporate Sustainability Management: Risk, Profit, and Purpose online program, on the other hand, is designed to help you embed sustainability and sustainable practices into the core of your business strategies.
