Green and sustainable finance has the potential to fund the implementation of initiatives that contribute towards a more resilient and equitable society. For all stakeholders alike, a foundational understanding of green and sustainable finance is increasingly paramount.
On 8 Nov. 2024, SGBC organised the second run of the SGBC Industry Course: Tapping on Sustainable & Green Financing for Decarbonisation Action, to help our industry professionals stay abreast with the industry trends surrounding green finance. Designed to equip non-finance professionals with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to understand green initiatives effectively, the course covered a comprehensive list of topics:
đ± Fundamentals of green and sustainable finance, from market trends to sustainable financial product structure.
đ± Considerations and techniques needed to access green and sustainable finance.
đ± Accounting concepts (NPV, cash flow, IRR etc.) to gain a holistic grasp of green and sustainable finance.
Through a blend of insights from case studies and interactive in-class quizzes and tabletop exercises, participants brought valuable insights and know-how on green finance back to their respective organisations.
