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.

Looks at sustainable investment practice in Japan Offers insight into the green bond markets, thirteen years into existence Shows that high-scoring ESG assets are in demand
