International Business - Sustainable Finance Maastricht University

Overview

Often for corporations and financial institutions, ‘duty’ is less important than ‘profit’. The International Business - Sustainable Finance programme from Maastricht University reverses this dynamic, focusing instead on the application of sustainability principles to management, corporate strategy, accounting, reporting and marketing. Included in this are issues such as sustainable banking, investing, real estate and micro-credit. Sustainable Finance will equip you to pair sustainability with profitability now and into the future.
