The elective course is based on three main pillars: asset side analysis, liability side analysis, and risk analysis.
The programme aims to nurture both the conceptual and practical foundations of a new financial perspective in the creation of value, reconnecting business, society and wellbeing. It explains why and how finance is a strategic driver to accelerate the transition toward circularity in business and educates both students and practitioners on the new economic paradigm, new sustainable business models and the relationship between the new systemic approach and innovation. Moreover, it considers linear risk inclusion in the financial risk assessment analysis in order to support better investment decisions in front of the transition. Learn more.
