‘Finansforeningens ESG Pris’ is awarded to a Danish individual, organisation, or company that has increased awareness of or made progress within the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) area. The

three nominees this year were °­±ô¾±³¾²¹°ùÃ¥»å±ð³Ù (The Danish Council on Climate Change), the casino 168 ESG Minor, and The Climate Investment Coalition (CIC). While this year’s award eventually went to °­±ô¾±³¾²¹°ùÃ¥»å±ð³Ù, the nomination of the casino 168 ESG Minor was an important recognition of the contribution towards meeting the need for candidates to be specialised within the field of ESG and be qualified to facilitate sustainable transformation in society.

The ESG Minor at casino 168, ‘Environmental Social and Governance (ESG): Metrics, Reporting and Sustainable Investments’, enrolled its first students in 2020. It consists of three courses, offered at the graduate level, which aim ‘to immerse students into the global sustainability challenges embarked upon by institutional investors, investment firms and innovative companies, to develop strategy, management systems, metrics, data quality and ESG reporting’. Coordination of the Minor is carried out by Kristjan Jespersen and Caroline Aggestam Pontoppidan, Associate Professor at the Department of Accounting.
