The socioeconomic paradigm shift is accelerating strongly, it is reshaping finance, so it needs to be analyzed and understood. Every area of finance is affected by the huge amounts of financial resources flowing into sustainable investments. But how to analyze and differentiate such changes? How to succeed in reconciling financial returns with real social and environmental impact? How to measure this impact? How to guide one’s company’s turn toward sustainability?
The sustainable enterprise follows and implements its vocation, generating value for all stakeholders and measuring its social and environmental impact with the same rigor with which it measures its economic and financial performance. It becomes the engine for new development strategies. It becomes the linchpin of the Regenerative Economy.
The ESG and Sustainable Finance course is aimed at professionals who want to undertake a path of information, training and updating in the area of sustainability in all its forms (economic, social and environmental).
Combining the Faculty’s academic knowledge with the presence of industry professionals, the course provides cutting-edge information, economic skills, and tools for analyzing markets, financial products, necessary for private bankers, consultants, asset managers within banks and insurance companies, foundations, or for those in private practice.
The course is also aimed at those managers who need to lead their companies’ transition to new models of sustainability and need to know how to translate the value mission into economic and financial operations.

" Joseph Schumpeter, analyzing the evolutionary process of the economy, introduced the concept of "creative destruction." Will sustainable finance have this powerful impact today? Or will it be even more disruptive, bringing about a real paradigm shift? We are convinced that finance that embraces sustainability can truly aspire to build a new integral Humanism. "

ESG e Finanza Sostenibile (ed. 2023)
"Il corso ESG e Finanza Sostenibile mi ha permesso di consolidare le mie conoscenze in ambito sostenibilità e approfondire la finanza sotto il profilo che più mi interessa. Durante questa esperienza, mi sono confrontata con professionisti provenienti da mondi diversi dal mio che mi hanno arricchito sia professionalmente che personalmente. In particolare, l’incontro con la Sustainability Director di un’importante azienda farmaceutica italiana, mi ha fatto capire ancor di più come la sostenibilità sia un processo soggetto a continuous improvement."

ESG e Finanza Sostenibile (ed. 2023)
"In un momento storico in cui il sistema economico è stato fortemente scosso da eventi esogeni, la sostenibilità declinata in tutte le sue forme non è solo necessaria per la tutela del nostro pianeta, ma diventa a tutti gli effetti valore aggiunto per la crescita e la solidità nel lungo periodo degli attori economici. L'open program "ESG e finanza sostenibile" offre una visione a 360° sulla tematica, partendo dall'acquisizione di solide basi teoriche e dall'analisi del quadro normativo di riferimento, fino ad approfondire gli strumenti disponibili per integrare la sostenibilità all'interno dei processi, delle relazioni e del piano strategico. Nel percorso risultano inoltre particolarmente stimolanti le testimonianze aziendali che permettono di confrontarsi con casi d'eccellenza."
