Sustainable Development Translated into Financial Value

The School of Environment Enterprise & Development at the University of Waterloo is hosting this event that will offer attendees valuable insight into translating sustainable development into financial value.

A key reason that companies embrace sustainable development is to create financial value. However, translating seemingly “non financial” measures of sustainable development performance into impact on financial value proves challenging for many companies and for those in the financial community who assess corporate value.

This course addresses this challenge – by drawing upon a multitude of practical “real world” examples, participants will learn how sustainable development can be translated into impact on corporate value.

As a result of taking this course, participants will be better able to do the following:

• Articulate the business case for sustainable development relative to their company and industry sector,
• Calculate the impact of sustainable development performance on corporate financial value, and
• Identify the most important sustainable development measures to be profiled “up front” in sustainable development reports.
