1 Sustainable Business Initiative - Executive Education Sustainability Strategy for the Financial Services Rethink knowledge. Impact your world
2 Calton Hill is one of Edinburgh s main hills, set right in the city centre. It is unmistakable with its Athenian acropolis poking above the skyline.
3 Edinburgh is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom after the City of London and the fourth in Europe by equity assets. Overview The financial services industry has experienced a major shift in the last decade, as sustainability becomes a key strategic imperative. This is spurred on by numerous governance scandals, controversial lending practices, short termism and increasingly prevalent instances of corporate fraud e.g., unethical trading practices. Furthermore, the sheer cost of the global financial crisis in 2008/09 has urged governments to act. For instance, after a recent 2009 G-20 summit in Pittsburgh, USA, a report was issued that specifically addressed the state-of-affairs in the financial industry: Far more needs to be done to protect consumers, depositors, and investors against abusive market practices [and] promote high quality standards New regulatory and governance regimes have taken place, as well as new market opportunities. The quest for sustainability i.e. the consideration of environmental, social and governance issues in investment and financial decisions is beginning to redefine the global competitive landscape. As such, the global market is shifting and business models are adjusting to meet the demands of the new world economy. Many financial institutions have responded by redesigning their commercial outlook. In fact, many global financial sector players, like Goldman Sachs (through its GS Sustain programme) are beginning to take advantage of the new opportunities. This course is based on the mantra that sustainability is now, and sustainability is the future. Participants will learn foundational perspectives of corporate sustainability in financial industry and more advanced concepts. These include, amongst others, risk mitigation, carbon financial Islamic banking and microfinance. Overall, this is an excellent opportunity to understand what sustainability can mean for your organisation both in terms of avoiding the risks, and capitalising from the opportunities. Sustainable Business Initiative Sustainability Strategy for the Financial Services 3
