Traditionally, firms, investors and intermediaries rely on financial data to make optimal capital allocation. However, such consideration is no longer adequate in the midst of rising climate challenges and social issues. Monetizing social and environmental impact has become a necessary step for efficient capital allocation and flow in the more advanced and sustainable finance sector.

This course provides to provide the tools to do this.
The course qualifies as part of a three-course requirement for the award of a NUS Professional Certificate in Financing Sustainability. The other two courses of the requirement for the certificate are Sustainable Project Financing and Social and Sustainable Investing.
