    Sustainability and Financial Management

    About

    Today’s investors, businesses, and governments are increasingly focused on sustainability alongside dollars and cents.

    Sustainable finance is paving the way for a greener future by moving beyond the limited approaches of the past. For companies, aligning environmental responsibility with profitability is becoming essential. Using environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting to drive policy and decision-making ensures long-term success.

    This shift is creating a growing demand for a new breed of financial experts who can integrate people, profits, and the planet into the bottom line. Through this unique program, you'll gain a premier accounting and finance education from the School of Accounting and Finance.

    You'll also gain a deep understanding of sustainability from Canada’s largest Faculty of Environment, a leader in sustainable business education for over two decades. Plus, with 16 months of paid co-op work experience, you’ll have the opportunity to explore careers and gain valuable skills before you graduate!
