Students will discuss how financial markets can play a socially beneficial role. Can public companies play a role in creating a more sustainable world? Can the Paris climate targets and the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals be achieved without the active support of public companies? What role do endowments and pension plans play in driving sustainability? What role can investments play in helping to improve societal outcomes? A major focus will be learning to evaluate public companies from an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) perspective.
