Relevant, topical and urgent subjects with clear explanations and concrete guidelines. Easy and at your own pace to go through with critical (mini) tests to complete modules.

Very informative, but the level of verbal English of the speakers (especially Dirk, no offense) is quite low. Willem is much better at English and presenting in general but doesn't get to speak often.

This course gives a general introduction about how to incorporate sustainability in finance. Very interesting and motivating. I would recommend it to anyone interested in these topics.
