  After completing the module, students understand the institutional, strategic, and
  regulatory foundations of sustainable investing and stewardship. They are familiar with
  the roles of different investor types in advancing sustainability in financial markets and
  corporate governance. Students can critically evaluate stewardship tools such as ESG
  integration, engagement, voting, and net-zero commitments, and apply them using
  real-world case studies. They also build practical skills in team-based analysis and the
  professional presentation of sustainability-related investor-company interactions.

  The seminar examines the conceptual and practical foundations of sustainable
  investing and investor stewardship. It covers the role of capital markets in the
  sustainability transition, the responsibilities and influence of key institutional investors,
  including pension funds, asset managers, and proxy advisors, and the mechanisms
  of stewardship. Core topics include ESG integration, shareholder engagement, voting
  strategies, and collaborative initiatives. Real-world case studies illustrate how investors
  interact with companies on sustainability issues and navigate regulatory, strategic, and
  reputational considerations.

  To successfully complete the module, students demonstrate an understanding of the
  institutional, strategic, and regulatory foundations of sustainable investing and investor
  stewardship. They are able to assess stewardship frameworks, such as ESG integration,
  engagement, and voting, and apply these in real-world investment contexts. In the case
  study, students evaluate companies based on an assigned investment strategy and
  develop suitable stewardship approaches. This requires analytical skills, teamwork, and
  the ability to present investment-related recommendations. The written reflection shows
  their ability to critically examine stewardship strategies and sustainability-related investor
  decisions.
