Understand sustainable finance well enough to act on it, and report on it.

A practical introduction to sustainable finance: what it is, why it's growing fast, the instruments that drive it, and the global and Mexican reporting rules businesses now face. Finish with a step-by-step approach to bring sustainability into your own financial decisions, measurement, and reporting.

Some of the organizations we’ve worked with.

What you’ll be able to do.

Why it matters now

Sustainability reporting is moving from voluntary to required. Since 2025, Mexico’s listed companies must report on sustainability alongside their financial results, under rules aligned with the global ISSB standards. Businesses that understand sustainable finance now are better placed to access green funding, manage climate risk, and meet what investors and regulators expect.

Who it’s for

Business and finance professionals in companies of every size, from multinationals to local SMEs, who need to understand sustainable finance and the reporting it now requires. Especially useful for teams in Mexico and Latin America. No background in sustainability or finance theory needed.
