Campus Conversation #58 with Julian Kölbel on Sustainable Finance

Sustainability here, sustainability there. It has become difficult to get away from sustainability in our daily lives. In recent years, the financial universe has also begun to embrace the concept of sustainability, bringing buzzwords such as ESG to the fore. Accompanied by scepticism, 1/3 of all assets under management are now invested sustainably. In this episode we try to cut through the jungle with our esteemed faculty member Prof. Dr. Julian Kölbel, Assistant Professor at the Center for Financial Innovation at the School of Finance, Research Affiliate at MIT Sloan and member of the investment committee of Stiftung Abendrot, a Swiss pension fund that manages the pensions of 15,000 people in Switzerland.
