About this course
Sustainable Finance and Green Bonds gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of sustainable finance landscape and green, social and sustainability bonds, then builds the skills to apply taxonomies and use of proceeds, ESG integration in investment and reporting and impact measurement in real work. ESG, sustainability and net zero courses for the reporting, carbon accounting and decarbonisation skills that regulators and investors now require. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2028.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Sustainability, HSE, finance, strategy and reporting professionals, and managers responsible for ESG and climate targets. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
