Transforming Finance Education in Business School: A Finance Course Aligned with Sustainability

Environmental degradation, extreme poverty, and other ills humanity faces are unacceptable for modern society. Significant advances have been made in the last century, but there remain challenges to reaching a world where the promises of sustainable development are a reality. In this chapter, we share the story of the Finance Group, a small and diverse group of scholars from Jesuit business schools around the globe who answered the call from the International Association of Jesuit Universities to change business education. In designing a Finance course aligned with sustainability concepts, we hope to inspire future generations of business professionals to excel in finance and become the socially minded leaders the world needs.
