Introducing
ESG fundamentals for advisors
Our new online course will help you understand environmental, social and governance issues so you can have informed conversations with your clients. Plus, you’ll get 2 CE credits for completing it.
Three quarters of Canadian investors are interested in responsible investing and want their advisors to talk to them about it.¹
That’s why we’ve created a new 2-part online course that offers 2 CE credits and is designed to help you get the knowledge you need to discuss environmental, social and governance factors with your clients!
By taking this course you’ll learn about:
- The 3 factors that make up ESG
- Stewardship
- ESG and lower environmental risk
- The sustainability ecosystem
- ESG history, growth and trends, and much more!
All lessons are easy to follow, include video tutorials and have simple quizzes throughout to keep you on top of your learnings. We will also explore some definitions and key ESG approaches, as well as trends driving the evolution of sustainable investing.
This course is available on the Manulife CE Centre and is the newest addition to the 200+ digital courses in our library for advisors.
