Ethics, Strategic CSR and Sustainable Finance

About

This course seeks to train students with general knowledge in ethics, strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, focussing in particular on finance and the challenges that companies face at local and global levels.

Financial markets play a role of unprecedent importance in today’s globalized economy. Not only are the highest ethical standards therefore required from finance professionals but by considering environmental and social impact in investment analysis, finance has the capacity to allocate financial resources to more environmentally and socially sustainable products and services.
