Recent global developments have increasingly led to the issues of climate change and sustainable development being addressed. Different actors in the financial sector have started to account for sustainability issues in their daily operations. Not only regulatory pressure, but also stakeholder demands, incremental transparency and comparability of sustainability data, drive the transition of the financial sector towards sustainability. While sustainability has been gaining popularity in the investment business for several years now, it is only beginning in corporate finance. But since corporations play an essential role in the sustainability transformation of our economies, it is important to understand how financing is affected by sustainability considerations and how sustainability can be fostered through corporate financing.

This program will provide you with the foundations of corporate finance, banking, and sustainability and how these fields interact. There are four sustainability action areas (exclusion, ESG integration, transition, and sustainability solutions) that are relevant in the context of corporate financing. Special attention is given to the application of these action areas in the specific financing instrument: equity, bond, and bank financing. Specific impact-oriented and innovative financing approaches will be discussed, focusing on their relevance and origin, as well as possibilities to manage and measure the impact realized. Theoretical know-how will be accompanied by case studies and practical examples, to ensure that you are equipped with relevant experience that may be applied in your work environment.

These applications will also help you work on capabilities beyond the scope of this program, such as the critical reflection of public information and data and the feasibility to form your own opinion.

Specific impact-oriented and innovative financing approaches will be discussed, focusing on their relevance and origin, as well as possibilities to manage and measure the impact realized. Practical examples and case studies will be discussed for all financing approaches.
