Sustainable finance and ESG impact investment are amongst the most potent tools to help address some of the fundamental challenges that modern society is facing.
On Wednesday and Thursday, 24-25 August at 7:00am EDT, GBSN for Sustainable Finance and ESG Investing Impact Community will be hosting a two day Seed Class designed to explore ways to integrate values and skills associated with ESG investing into curricula. There have been challenges associated with how to integrate ESG into teaching, research, and operations across our academic communities. Our goal with this initiative is to “plant seeds” around ways to incorporate sustainable finance in a more holistic way.
The GBSN for Sustainable Finance & ESG Investment IMPACT Community serves as a forum for taking Sustainable Finance to the next level. The goals of this Impact Community are to improve the perception and the management of risks and opportunities associated with ESG factors, contribute to unlocking sustainable financial flows and positively impact the societies in the developing world, and making local businesses more perennial and sustainable. With the GBSN mission in mind, this Impact Community aims to increase awareness and support from a North to South perspective and to increase cooperation from a South to South perspective.

Global ESG and Sustainability Summit
LOCATION: Online
WHEN: 25 AUGUST
8:00am EDT
Driving positive change.
Stress on organizations today is unprecedented. More than ever before leaders need to be equipped to understand and respond to rapidly changing conditions and ensure the continued sustainability of their organizations.
Our environment, society and the essential governance thereof is firmly interwoven into our future. We have a collective responsibility to pivot and transform our organizations to create, preserve and avoid the erosion of value and ensure that we effectively steward our limited resources for future generations.
Join us, as global experts help us challenge the assumption that our current economic models can expand indefinitely, and ask ourselves the uncomfortable questions that no one dares to ask. Can we find innovative solutions that grapple with the complexities ingrained within our environment and implanted deep within our society? Investigate the latest developments in governance from global thought leaders, and catalyse new ideas as we all work towards a sustainable future.
Join us for a globally interactive conversation about ESG, Sustainability and beyond – what we do now affects our future.
This Global Summit is hosted by the Good Governance Academy in association with Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), The South African Business Schools Association (SABSA) and Global Business School Network (GBSN).
