FIN 411 Sustainable Finance

Spring 2026-2027 · 3 SU credits · 6 ECTS · Undergraduate

Sustainable Finance examines how financial markets, financial institutions, corporations, and regulators respond to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges and contribute to the transition toward a more sustainable economy. The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the main concepts, principles, and practices of sustainable finance and to develop an understanding of how sustainability considerations affect financial decision-making, corporate strategy, investment analysis, and financial regulation. The course will help students appreciate the role of sustainability information in investment, lending, valuation, and risk management decisions, build a foundational understanding of financial statements, and develop the skills needed to read, analyze, and interpret sustainability reports produced by firms and financial institutions. It is intended to serve as a foundation for subsequent Finance, Accounting, and Sustainability courses. The topics covered include financial materiality and sustainability reporting; major global sustainability reporting frameworks and standards including GRI, CSRD/ESRS, CDP/TCFD, and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2); analysis and interpretation of sustainability reports; environmental and social externalities; ESG investing and impact investing; climate-related financial risks; sustainable banking and green finance; green and sustainability-linked bonds; corporate sustainability strategies
