Ultima Markets has unveiled the first sustainability academy within the Contract for Difference (CFD) industry, marking a significant milestone in financial services. Developed by the Ultima Impact Foundation, this initiative aims to make expert knowledge on sustainability accessible to everyone. The academy offers a series of short video lessons led by professors from renowned universities and top scientists in the climate sector, simplifying complex topics into actionable insights.
The academy’s content, typically reserved for graduate-level courses, is now freely available on Ultima Markets’ website. Jean Philippe, Director of the Ultima Impact Foundation, emphasised the goal of making sustainability topics more approachable: “Our goal with the academy is to demystify these topics and make them more approachable and relatable to everyone.”
This educational endeavour is part of Ultima Markets’ broader sustainability agenda. As the first CFD broker to join the United Nations Global Compact, the company aligns its operations with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, using education as a tool for global progress. By opening the academy to all, Ultima Markets hopes to foster greater awareness and inspire global engagement in sustainability.
Ultima Markets, a licensed multi-asset broker, serves traders in over 170 countries, offering access to more than 250 CFD instruments. The company has received accolades for its advanced trading platform and educational initiatives, further solidifying its commitment to sustainability and ethical finance.
