Academy – Euronext Group launches its first certification programme in Business Sustainability.

Business Sustainability

Becoming a sustainable business is a central topic for many corporations nowadays. It requires a broader-based “systemic perspective” that highlights the inter-relationships among the key players of a sustainable finance eco-system.

As such, business leaders are expected to possess the necessary knowledge and expertise to better understand and navigate the “sustainability” paradigm.

Getting certified with industry experts

This course, brought to you by Academy – Euronext Group, in collaboration with Leonardo Centre, a research centre based in Imperial College Business School, enables participants to drive the implementation of sustainable strategies in their organisation. The programme offers great value not only to participants but also to the businesses they work for. Delegates benefit from receiving a renowned certification and having the opportunity to engage with long-standing industry experts and thought leaders.  Moreover, the acquired knowledge, best practices and exposure to industry trends, are a long-term investment from the organisational perspective.

Besides academics from across Imperial College London,, renowned experts from Euronext, industry professionals, ESG advisors and responsible investors will be guiding the participants throughout the course and the final project work.

Course format

The blended format of this Mastercourse provides an ideal learning setting with interactive sessions, engaging presentations and active participation.

Participants are invited to conduct a pre-course assessment to identify potential knowledge gaps, as well as to determine the progress of their sustainability mindset. The core course is divided into modules, with the first one being taught in person in Milan, building up to the topic of the final project work: developing a Corporate Sustainable Transition Plan. Its presentation, as well as the certification ceremony, will be held in London.

With this first edition of the Business Sustainability Certification Programme, we strive to support Corporate Responsibility and Business Sustainability professionals in taking their careers to the next level.
