Sustainable investing has rapidly evolved from a niche practice to a central force reshaping global capital markets. This course equips participants with a comprehensive understanding of the drivers behind this shift, the tools and strategies available to investors, and the regulatory and compliance challenges that accompany it. Through a mix of conceptual foundations and practical applications, participants learn how to navigate sustainability preferences, assess real-world impact, and manage emerging risks – including non-compliance and greenwashing. Seeking a high degree of interaction, the course will be primarily based on use cases and group exercises.
- Examine the evolution of sustainable investing, the forces driving investor demand, and the range of approaches available
- Assess the impact of sustainable investment products and translate client sustainability preferences into investable solutions
- Navigate the EU regulatory framework of sustainable investing and use a toolkit to assess legal, regulatory & compliance duties
- Detect greenwashing and translate this into risk management and compliance for companies and financial advisors
