Mini Course Syllabus

This is the summarized version of the course syllabus, which is subject to change.

Egade Business School Tecnologico De Monterrey

The new normal in the financial world is Sustainability. Increased awareness on international markets led among other reasons by scarcity of resources, the search of profits through efficiency and climate change influence financial decisions worldwide. Investors react to and value ancillary factors in their financial decisions and sustainability continues to gain recognition.

This course is the study of finance and sustainability as an integrated subject beginning with an introduction of financial and investment principles and moving towards financial analysis, financing and valuation. The course covers diverse aspects of sustainable investments and offers tools for effective financial valuation and effective risk assessment. The perspective proposed by this course is motivated by the desire of corporations for continued prosperity, expansion and in some cases even to promote their own survival.

Pre-requisites: Basic knowledge of Finance.

Schedule:
July 21 - July 31 (7:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.)
