Introduction to Sustainable Finance

The video tutorial, presented by Patrick Drum and a colleague from Sterna Capital, explores sustainable finance. It covers the definition, importance, and purpose of sustainable finance, emphasizing its role in strategic planning and investment. The tutorial explains three types of sustainable finance: Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing, and impact investing. It also addresses misconceptions, such as the belief that sustainable finance sacrifices financial performance or lacks diversification. The module aims to clarify these points and demonstrate the viability and benefits of sustainable finance.
