Executive Education for Responsible Investment Leaders

Strategic leaders for the future of responsible investment

Why Executive Education?

The imperative for responsible investment has never been greater. As climate risks materialise across the globe, investors are increasingly focused on system-level issues that go beyond traditional portfolio management.

Successful leadership in this increasingly complex reality of responsible investment demands new skills and ways of working. Leaders must navigate not just technical complexities but also manage stakeholders, form coalitions and set their long-term, strategic vision.

This is why the PRI has launched PRI Executive Education, partnering with leading business schools across the globe to provide relevant and impactful training for senior responsible investment leaders.

What’s unique about PRI Academy’s approach?

Our Executive Education programmes combine three critical elements

Academic Rigour

Partnerships with leading global business schools and universities ensure participants receive robust research and evidence-based frameworks, as well as advanced educational methods to develop their leadership skillset.

Practical Application

The programme is designed around real-world implementation. Case studies, simulations, and project work focus on the global and regional challenges faced by responsible investment leaders.

Peer Learning

Exclusive cohorts of senior investment leaders create unprecedented networking opportunities and peer learning experiences. Our programmes provide a safe space for participants to share experiences, discuss challenges and develop best practice
