Learning outcome

After this course, students can identify the significance and impact of social, economic and ecological sustainability and ethical behaviour on banking and finance in practice from an international perspective. They are able to explain implications of sustainability and ethics on the companies' reputation and economic results. This means that students have the capacity to describe the impact of fulfilling sustainability criteria on the company’s performance and analyse the potential risks associated with a lack of well-defined sustainability criteria. The students are able to analyse challenges in organisational sustainability and ethic management and apply appropriate methods of management to advance these areas of action. This includes the capacity to describe different forms of assessment methods. The students gain competencies in the integration of the perspectives of sustainability and ethics into their daily work, and in the communication of these perspectives to others within an international context.
