Finance is not just about making money and crunching numbers; it shapes everyday life. As a human-created social technology, finance reflects human strengths and flaws, sometimes with significant consequences for society. This course explores how social, ethical and environmental factors have become material drivers of long-term firm value, and how research, policy and public engagement contribute to more effective and sustainable financial systems. The course will explore how social and ethical issues shape finance and provide insights for how finance professionals should navigate these issues.
