For investors who look to the future

Sustainable investing is one of the strongest trends in the financial sector for both institutional and private investors. Sustainable investments involve both equity instruments such as shares and debt instruments such as green bonds or incentive loans. The management of investment and credit risks that are related to ESG criteria is also playing an increasingly important role for financial institutions.

In addition to ecological aspects of sustainability, investors are currently focusing on social and governance-related aspects in particular.

In our “Sustainable Investing” certificate program, we show you the special features, opportunities and risks of sustainable investments in a detailed, practice-oriented and scientific manner. We explain strategic, product-specific and regulatory aspects of sustainable investing.

The course provides you with the specific know-how you need to create investment strategies tailored to sustainability, comply with reporting obligations in the area of sustainability, manage sustainability risks and advise clients on the sustainability characteristics of their investments.
