  • Learning outcome, core skills



    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.








  • Contents



    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.







  • Examination Requirements



    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.
