Sustainability
Education.

We seek to advance a more sustainable and inclusive economy by promoting sustainability education, developing ESG knowledge within the community, and furthering non-financial research that fosters a holistic vision of the economy.

Academic research and education in sustainable finance are central to the Institute’s focus. Our long‑term partnerships with universities and research institutions aim to strengthen the knowledge base supporting a more sustainable and inclusive economy.

Sustainability: Supporting top-quality research and educating the broad community

We train financial advisers, intermediaries, the general public and all our employees on sustainability issues in investment choices and their impacts.

Through our academic partnerships, we support researchers and students in advancing understanding of a sustainable and inclusive economy.

Our mission is to encourage sustainability education and research as a natural part of assuming our responsibilities, and as the first pillar of our philanthropic initiatives.
