Sustainable Finance Initiative
The Sustainable Finance Group’s goal is to teach, train, and develop Harvard undergraduates interested in mobilizing capital toward climate change mitigation and adaptation companies. Our interests and investing mandate is wide; whether it be investing in solar panel manufacturing, waste management, utility efficiency software, or grid expansion companies, SFG is the place for you.
We welcome anyone and everyone - regardless of experience.
If this is your first time learning anything about finance, our rigorous education program will teach you what you need to get an internship and the basics of investing. If you have previous finance experience, our investment teams will give you an insight into modeling, clean tech companies, and thinking like an investor. If you’re less concerned about the investing angle, we also have a review where you write about companies of interest, project finance, or anything touching climate, money, and economics.
In addition to the above, we host speaker events, recruiting help, socials, and most important of all, a safe space to ask questions about the industry.
The Review team will conduct research into various sustainable finance topics and write articles based on that research. By the end of the semester, each individual will have written their own article to be published in the HUCEG Review and be familiar with resources such as Pitchbook, Bloomberg Business, and Proquest, as well as know how to read company financial and annual reports.
