Information session on Columbia Business School Executive Education’s Impact Investing (Online)

Sustainable and impact investing has attracted enough capital to start making a meaningful impact on the world's most pressing issues. Globally, over US$22.8 trillion is invested in a sustainable way, equaling one dollar for every four dollars under professional management. The recent rapid growth is driven by a change in how investors and asset owners view environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Impact investing is the fastest-growing segment of sustainable investing, and it is essential for modern investors, financial advisors, and money managers to be knowledgeable in this strategy, especially with a new generation of investors seeking it out. The six-week Impact Investing (Online) program from Columbia Business School Executive Education, taught by Bhakti Mirchandani, who teaches an award-winning impact finance course for Columbia's Masters in Sustainability Management program and has authored over 90 articles on sustainable and impact investing, is designed to educate individuals on different approaches of sustainable and impact investing and factors that come into play when devising a sustainable investing strategy.
