// Overview

About this programme

Sustainable finance has moved from a product category to a set of methodology questions that credit, investment and risk professionals are expected to answer.

This programme covers how ESG factors are integrated into investment and credit analysis, how green and sustainability-linked instruments are structured, how financed emissions are measured, and what makes a sustainability performance target credible to a counterparty.

It is built for practitioners rather than for a general audience, and assumes working familiarity with financial products.

  • Delivery at your premises or virtually
  • Content adjusted to your sector and maturity
  • Exercises using your own data where appropriate
  • Scheduling around your team availability
  • A single invoice rather than per-seat pricing

// Questions

Frequently asked

Is prior ESG knowledge assumed?

Financial product familiarity is assumed; ESG knowledge is not. Participants without a finance background usually find ESG Essentials a better starting point.

Rather have CER do the work?

Training a team rather than an individual?

Private in-house delivery is usually more effective and more economical above roughly six participants.
