This course aims to explore how financial institutions (asset owners, asset managers, banks, private equity) are integrating ESG factors in the financial investment process. We will learn how this phenomenon emerged, and where it is likely to go. We will discuss different options to organize responsible investment activities, and how to research ESG factors. We will also discuss the role and practices of engagement with corporations on ESG factors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Executive MBA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Sustainability Leadership<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Executive Education (Short Focused Program)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iese.edu\/en\/ad\/EnfocadosWEB\/1112\/sfp\/gtd\/GettingThingsDone.asp#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strategy in Action: Leadership and Execution<\/a> (Academic Director)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When a business strategy fails, shortcomings are often exposed.
