ABOUT US

In recent years, the idea that the financial sector holds a key position in enabling the transition towards a more sustainable economy has gained increased momentum. In practice, this translates into investing in companies working to promote positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts.

Founded in 2019 by three students, the CBS Sustainable Finance Club (prev. CBS Sustainable Investment Club) was formed as a reaction to the lacking acknowledgement of this point in business school teachings. Furthermore, investments should reap satisfactory returns simultaneous to creating positive long-term value. This entails allocating capital in a responsible and sustainable manner.

To this end, the goal of the organization is to provide an alternative narrative on how to make sound investment decisions, based on the integration of the ESG factors. Financial markets are subject to a significant growth of the adoption of sustainable investments due to a series of drivers. Following this crucial trend, the CBS Sustainable Finance Club has the mission to deliver knowledge and expertise about sustainable financial solutions to the CBS student body and broaden the understanding of how sustainability is integrated into financial services, markets and the general economy.
