The Sustainable Finance (SuFi) Master Class, launched in Belgium in 2021, is a unique Master Class in sustainable finance for today's leaders. Today's decision-makers' challenge in all sectors is to implement the transition to a low-carbon, resilient and truly sustainable economy within a short timeframe. This requires fluent literacy in sustainable finance. With this Master Class, we aim to attract the most influential leaders of today and deliver a unique experience that equips participants with the knowledge and networks required to integrate sustainable finance in their daily decisions.

It is an introduction to sustainable finance for high level professionals working in a range of sectors, from political leaders, university deans, public figures to directors of associations, European commission technocrats and executive directors willing to transform their practices towards improved sustainability, and who realize that, to do so, they need to understand how finance impacts climate challenges, food, housing, biodiversity, culture, or energy, to name a few societal challenges.

The course was designed and developed by a consortium of sustainable finance academics from ICHEC Brussels Management School, ULB and UNamur, supported by an advisory board composed of sustainable finance experts from the field.
