Outlet: Wharton Executive Education

The course is being announced in the run-up to New York Climate Week with a public webinar on September 12, 2025, and will officially begin in February 2026. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing responsible investment as a core business and financial imperative. The program is grounded in fiduciary duty and evidence-based practice, helping leaders identify and manage financially material risks and opportunities in a changing world.

The PRI partnered with Wharton Executive Education and with Wharton’s Impact, Value, and Sustainable Business Initiative, which champions rigorous, practical education that connects measurable impact to financial value. Wharton Executive Education empowers leaders to turn insight into action through best-in-class learning that blends academic rigor with real-world relevance.

“Responsible investment is a professional discipline that empowers investors with the insights and frameworks needed to lead in a complex financial landscape” said Professor Witold Henisz, vice dean and faculty director of the Initiative. “Our goal is to prepare leaders to integrate sustainability and governance into strategy, valuation, and decision making. This partnership with PRI reflects our shared belief that long-term value creation depends on understanding and managing systemic risks.”
