This course was previously known as ESG & SRI Investing - Part 1  

Traditionally, investors have been concerned with one thing: financial returns. But in recent decades, many investors have begun to move beyond purely financial considerations. More and more, investors are considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors when making investment decisions.

This practice is known as socially responsible investing (SRI). It is also sometimes known as ESG investing, ethical investing, responsible investing, green investing, and many other names. Broadly speaking, SRI means pursuing an investment strategy that considers both financial returns and broader social and environmental impacts.

This eCourse consists of two modules which provide a high-level overview of ESG and SRI.

On completion of this eCourse, you will be able to:
- Define environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing and lending
- List key ESG indices
- Define ESG factors
- List the major sources of ESG data
- Name the major strategies of incorporating ESG
