In the winter semester 2026/27, we will offer the seminar “Portfolio Alignment with Emerging Net-Zero Metrics.”

Brief description:
Net-zero investing has gained considerable importance in recent years. But which metrics are actually suitable for constructing and evaluating a net-zero-aligned portfolio? The seminar focuses on current approaches to measuring the climate impact and net-zero alignment of companies and portfolios.

Information on registration and the organization of the seminar is available at: Studium & Lehre / Seminare.
