"The 5-day course has helped me gain practical knowledge and useful insights in climate change, environmental, social & governance matters, responsible & impact investing, sustainable capital markets, greenwashing, carbon trading, etc. The short course has not only deepened my interest in sustainability topics, but it has also encouraged me to work more closely with my company’s Sustainability Team. Last but not least, it has certainly prompted me to apply for the Executive Master of Science in Sustainability Management with NTU as I become more eager for a wider and more in-depth understanding on sustainability subjects."

Overall, this course has significantly enhanced my knowledge and baseline concepts in this field, and I feel better equipped to apply what I have learnt into my role."
Group Head of Research and Head of ESG Investment Research, CGS International Securities
"The Certificate Programme in Sustainable Finance is an invaluable resource. It provides a structured approach and framework for developing a company's sustainability strategy and execution plans. Apart from certification in hard skills, it was also great in building a support network of like-minded individuals, struggling with the same issues at their own firms. Having the community to reach out to at times of need is a long-term benefit. The programme was well conducted with highly qualified and engaging speakers and a lot of fun. Definitely a needed opportunity to step away from the daily grind and focus on the longer-term more important issues."
Head of Sustainability, Prudential Assurance Company
"I value the diverse range of speakers, including academics, researchers, consultants, and sustainability practitioners. Their varied perspectives on sustainable finance enrich the discussion and highlight the complexities of the subject."
