Sustainability Integration Program (SIP)

Developing a new generation of sustainability leaders.

What is the Sustainability Integration Program (SIP)?

As part of MSMF’s strategic capacity-building initiative to address the rising demand for sustainability-related expertise and align with industry expectations, the existing ESG core team has been restructured into a Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) model. This transformation is designed to enhance scalability, allowing MSMF to rapidly expand its capabilities with the following key objectives:

  1. Train and develop graduates with industry-ready sustainability work experience and knowledge.

  2. Ensure that MSMF can meet the growing expectations of sustainability practices by the university and industry.

  3. Become the market leader in student-managed fund space.

The establishment of SIP is a strategic move to future-proof our operations and sustainability, ensuring it remains at the forefront of sustainability education and practice, leading MSMF into a position to drive meaningful impact in sustainable finance while delivering exceptional value to students, the university, and industry partners.

The need for SIP in the market?

While the demand for sustainability knowledge is growing, the cost of professional certifications and training remains a barrier—especially for student-led organisations. SIP bridges this gap by offering a cost-effective, hands-on learning experience, equipping students with both theoretical knowledge and real-world exposure.
