Risks Related to Environmental, Social and Governmental Issues (ESG)

The transformation of the investment industry towards one that finances a sustainable economy seems underway. The question is what will go faster: global warming or the corrective action driven, in large part, by the capital markets. Crucial in this race is that investors gain experience in what-is-called sustainable investing. It is work in progress. This book showcases the serious efforts that are going into ESG investment research, covering corporate social responsibility, climate-focused investing, the green bond market, investor sentiment, sustainability efforts, and the impact of ESG scores on stock prices.
