As centres to advance knowledge and education, universities play an important societal role. Their treasury teams are accountable in their actions to governing bodies that include academics and students. How cash is managed is not concerned a purely practical matter, but one that is considered an ethical choice. Whether through endowments or the university’s budget.
When considered holistically this can translate into all aspects of cash management. Which financial counterparties they work with, what liquidity products they select, how cash flow is forecast. An integrated ESG cash management policy should consider all these elements.
Sustainable Deposits supports universities in the development of sustainability considerations to their cash management policy. We offer a focused and independent “one stop shop” for sustainable cash management practices and decision-making.
