Have you ever wondered about how a company measures and manages its environmental and social impacts, and connects those with their financial performance?  Are you interested in learning about the US financial system, and what exactly goes into cashing the checks that you write?  Are you passionate about social issues or the environment, and want to know exactly how companies are affecting these?

If any of these questions align with your interests, ESRM 321 might be a perfect fit for you!  ESRM covers accounting and finance, with a specific focus on how these topics apply to the environment and to societies (also known as the Triple Bottom Line, or People, Planet, and Profits).  This course satisfies natural world (NW) or individuals and societies (I&S) credits, and all are welcome.  This course has no prerequisites, and is perfect for any student (whether you’re a freshman or a senior) who wants to learn more about how companies interact with the environment and societies.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact TA Robb Schmitt atschmittr@uw.edu.
