This course provides the principles and techniques that underpin various models of sustainable investing and impact investing from the investor perspective.

In addition to discussing these theories and strategies, the lectures will address the rapidly changing role of the corporation and recent shifts in the US and international regulatory environment. Furthermore, there will be discussion on the increasingly influential role non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play in the industry on a variety of issues ranging from climate change to human rights. This course was previously named Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Impact Investing.
