Sustainable Finance 101

Build Financial Strategies that Meet the Moment—and the Mandates.

Overview

Sustainable Finance is no longer a future consideration—it’s a present-day imperative.

With global capital flows increasingly favoring businesses that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities, Philippine companies—especially in the private sector—are under mounting pressure to integrate sustainability into their financial and strategic decision-making. Regulatory bodies like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) have issued sustainability-focused mandates, including the Sustainable Finance Framework, while international investors demand greater transparency and climate-related risk disclosure. Amidst evolving expectations, financial institutions and corporations alike must understand how sustainable finance reshapes investment criteria, lending practices, and business models.

This training offers a practical introduction to the concepts, tools, and strategic value of Sustainable Finance. Designed for professionals in financial services and corporate sectors, it covers regulatory trends, ESG-linked instruments, climate risk integration, and sustainable investing. You’ll explore real-world Philippine market examples, examine the roles of banks and corporates, and take part in a hands-on workshop to create actionable plans. Whether you’re in banking or corporate finance, this course equips you with the knowledge to advance sustainable finance in your organization.

Why this training matters:

Global Shift: ESG assets projected to hit $50 trillion in 2025 (Bloomberg)
