Modules

The Sustainable Fintech Leadership programme consists of five modules. Attendance and participation in all five online sessions covering these modules is required to be awarded a certificate.

How to define a sustainability strategy

Participants will start the programme by looking at the main drivers of ESG. They will also discover how it's impacting the financial services sector, and consider how ESG materially impacts the financial services sector as well as relevant developments in regulation and governance.

How to 'green' business operations

Participants will be given an overall view of net zero approaches and carbon markets and will explore carbon footprint measurement and carbon reduction strategies and tools.

How to deliver positive social impact

Participants will be asked to consider how aspects of leadership culture drive change and how a focus on the ‘S’ in ESG can help deliver a positive social impact.

How to implement ESG disclosures

Participants will consider ESG data sources, variations in ESG data quality as well as best practices in ESG disclosures and how small firms can develop disclosures.

How to use 'tech for good'

Participants will consider a range of business models for positive change for B2B, B2C and B2B2C businesses. They will have a look at digital tools that can support this and consider VC funding opportunities.

Studying

This is a five-module programme delivered over seven weeks. The five interactive modules are led by subject experts, practitioners, and industry guest speakers. The virtual, three-hour sessions provide a forum for knowledge-sharing, discussion and learning.

Each module uses case studies and real-life examples to provide context, highlight successful initiatives, lessons learned, and frameworks that can be applied to participants' own fintech businesses.
