Sustainable finance and ESG investing is a growth area, but there is still a great deal of uncertainty, so executive education programs have stepped in to help. Executive education representatives say the nascent sector is crying out for trained professionals, suggesting an opportunity for financiers to stake out territory.
The big appeal of training, says Dirk Schoenmaker, Professor of Banking and Finance at RSM, is that RSM provides the tools to integrate sustainability into day-to-day financial operations: equity valuation, bond valuation and credit analysis tools.
RSM runs the Sustainable Finance executive education course, on which participants learn practical tools for implementing sustainable investing and lending, and explore the change management issues.
