Master of Science in Sustainability Management
The financial sector, with its flexibility, agility and proactivity, can have great potential to play a key role in addressing environmental and social challenges. However, to take advantage of this potential, it is necessary to understand the relevant issues, so that solutions can be developed. This course will analyze, discuss and make a critical evaluation of the finance and banking practices, including regulation and how they face the challenges of the financial industry as a key player to maintain the ecological system, improve cultural diversity and social welfare and reduce economic inequality. This knowledge will also be translated into analysis of examples and case studies, taking into account how sustainable financial participation fits with the broader strategic organization.
