Introduction
Sustainable finance integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into investment decisions and capital allocation. Impact investing goes further by seeking measurable social or environmental outcomes alongside financial returns.
As global financial markets shift toward responsibility and transparency, sustainable finance has become essential for mitigating risks, enhancing long-term performance, and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. This course explores frameworks, financial instruments, investor expectations, and impact measurement methodologies.
