The 4-day ESG and Sustainability Strategy for Finance Leaders and Practitioners Programme is a face-face-programme which will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to integrate sustainability into their organisations’ strategies and operations. Covering climate and sustainability; the information ecosystem; sustainable finance and leadership, it will run from 30 September to 3 October.
A programme for finance professionals interested in sustainability and ESG
The programme has been designed for board members, chief financial officers and partners, to boost their knowledge about ESG and provide skills to embed it across their organisations. It will use expert discussions and interactive sessions to explore the evolving role of business in driving sustainability-related innovation, and provide networking opportunities for delegates.
Chartered accountants are in a unique position to champion sustainability.
Richard Spencer, ICAEW Sustainability Director, said: “We’re proud to have supported Cambridge Judge Business School in the development of this new programme, which will help finance professionals embed ESG and sustainability further into their organisations. Chartered Accountants are in a unique position to champion sustainability, as they are found working across the economy in businesses and finance, as well as the public and third sectors. This programme will be an invaluable addition to their toolkit for dealing with the challenges of sustainability.”
