Sustainability Transformation for Finance

The course of study ‘Sustainability Transformation for Finance’ prepares the student to apply with new regulations, accounting methods and challenges a finance professional must deal with in the very near future.

Global sustainable development goals, and local and regional environmental and sustainability directives increasingly determine what organisations can or cannot do. Management has to adjust the organisation to the new reality. It requires companies to consider both how sustainability issues impact their business and how their business impacts sustainability issues. This approach ensures organisations not only assess risks and opportunities to their financial performance but also their broader societal and environmental impacts.

Who should study this course?

The course is written for anyone who works in a mid-level or senior-level financial position or those who seek a career in sustainable finance or as a true cost accountant (TCA).
