KEDGE-CANDRIAM Chair

At a time of climate change and the identification of planetary limits, the financial industry needs to think about new models that promote a dual materiality objective, as well as its real ecosystemic impact, beyond a vision based exclusively on risks and financial valuation. The aim of this Chair will therefore be to encourage the development of this vision, not only through scientific production and fundamental research, but also through education and teaching.
