The transition to a more sustainable economy is only possible if the financial industry allocates capital in a way that reflects the sustainability risks and opportunities associated with every potential investment For this to happen, we need all finance professionals to be equipped with the right sustainability skills Today, more than $80 trillion is managed by institutions that have committed to considering Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in every investment decision, and the latest academic research clearly shows that companies with better ESG performance generate better risk adjusted returns Despite this, the overwhelming majority of finance professionals are never exposed to sustainability or ESG considerations in their core training programs. At Finance for a Sustainable Future, we believe this needs to change - now.
