The Alliance for Responsible Capitalism presents a new case competition focused on the challenges and opportunities around ESG in the banking sector
Registration
Join this competition to develop the sought-after skills to lead sustainable change in a fraught political environment
Develop understanding of how the regulatory landscape shapes the field of ESG investing, sometimes in contradictory ways, by hearing from diverse stakeholders related to banking and climate (inbound materiality)
Develop understanding of the levers companies have available to influence the policy landscape on ESG and climate topics, and how companies current engage in this political space (outbound materiality)
Cultivate differentiated skill set in ESG investing and strategy: rather than simply optimizing a portfolio, find solutions through responsible policy engagement to move the entire financial sector towards net zero
