Course in Tools and Methods for Sustainable and Impact Business and Finance

The course offers tools and methods for integrating sustainability and social and environmental impact into business and finance decisions. The programme addresses impact measurement, sustainable innovation, social entrepreneurship, organisational models, social value metrics, corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainable finance tools and partnerships between for-profit and non-profit parties. The subject of impact is treated both from the point of view of assessment and from that of designing business models able to generate value for society as well as for shareholders. Impact is today central for companies, investors and non-profit organisations, which must demonstrate social and environmental results as well as economic ones; the course offers tools for setting objectives, choosing indicators, collecting data and communicating results credibly, avoiding superficial or purely declaratory approaches.

The programme lasts seven months and is held in person in Milan, in an executive format. According to the calendar given, the application deadline was July 9, 2026 and lessons started on July 23, 2026, dates that have already passed.

Social entrepreneurship and partnerships between for-profit and non-profit parties are presented as ways of generating shared value, and the course examines the organisational models that make it possible to combine economic sustainability and social purpose, with attention to sustainable finance tools, such as impact investing, which direct resources towards transformation objectives.

The aim is to develop mastery of management models oriented to social and environmental impact and practical skills to lead the transformation towards sustainability.

The executive format and the seven-month duration are designed for those who work, and in-person classes encourage engagement between professionals from different fields, from finance to consulting, from companies to the third sector, with the possibility of discussing cases and identifying opportunities for collaboration, in a field where skills and networks of contacts carry decisive weight.
