Research and Funding Program

Research at the Penner Institute is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach to environmental, social, and governance issues. By bringing together diverse expertise from law, finance, management, social sciences, and other disciplines, we create an environment conducive to innovation and collaboration.

Our work is structured around strategic research areas that cover the entire ESG cycle: from identifying and understanding issues to regulating them, from their practical implementation in organizations to rigorous assessment of their impact. This integrated approach allows us to address the complex challenges of sustainable development holistically, taking into account the interactions between environmental, social, and governance dimensions.

To support this mission and foster the emergence of new knowledge, the Institute offers various funding programs for researchers, graduate students, and institutional partners. These programs aim to stimulate excellence in research, encourage innovative collaborations, and train the next generation of ESG experts.
