The future of finance

The sustainability agenda is impacting critical issues for business leaders – including growth, cost of funding, regulatory compliance, and talent retention. However, most institutions are unprepared for the changes they face. Key stakeholders often lack the expertise to capitalise on opportunities, manage risks, engage clients, and meet regulatory requirements. There is an urgency for skills development and sustainable finance training to prepare institutions to address these challenges head-on.
