The Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investment (GRASFI), was founded in 2017 by a network of global research universities in order to promote rigorous and highly impactful academic research on sustainable finance and investment. EDHEC Business School joined the alliance in June 2020.
A couple of years ago, EDHEC Business School launched an ambitious strategic plan – “Impact Future Generations” – which clearly focuses the School’s ambition and resources on the positive transformation that can be achieved through business and the economy, all with a view to helping create a better world for future generations. EDHEC Business School continues commitment to advancing research in the field of sustainable finance, particularly through the team of researchers of EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute whose mission is to help private and public decision makers manage climate-related financial risks and make the best use of financial tools to support the transition to low-emissions and climate-resilient economies.
Since 2008, EDHEC has been offering a PhD in Finance programme (executive and residential tracks). More information on PhD theses and participants profile can be found here.
