Sustainable Finance
Inspiring and equipping practitioners to engage confidently with sustainable finance, the Business School will host a new three-part programme from April 2020 for sustainable finance practitioners across Edinburgh's financial services community.
The Sustainable Finance Transformation
Across the financial services, there are significant developments under way in sustainable finance. The pace of change is high with new business models emerging, existing models adapting, and innovative products and services being developed. There is increased concern about the challenges our global society faces, and heightened awareness of the role of financial services in enabling solutions to those challenges.
This has led to an explosion of voluntary and regulatory initiatives in the financial sector and a rising 'turn' towards financial capital as the tool to achieve sustainable communities and society. However, sustainable finance is a new language for many individuals and organisations, meaning it can be challenging to move forward confidently in this complex area.
The sustainable finance programme is led by experienced faculty and world-renowned practitioners, and takes place over three full days with sessions, workshops, debates, open evenings, and keynote speakers.
