About this book
This book analyses sustainable finance policies implemented by the European Commission since January 2020. Gathering contributors from a range of European and international universities, it particularly aims to explore how EU strategy on green finance encourages and stimulates socially responsible investments that provide solutions to the challenges of the energy transition.
The book provides a comprehensive coverage of economic, financial and legal issues concerning green finance and ESG factor integration in the EU. The first part of the book discusses theoretical and empirical perspectives on socially responsible investments (SRIs) and ESG integration, while the second section focuses specifically on the role of corporate governance in both institutional and private investment spheres. The third part of the book explores valuation and risk, including a discussion of current trends in SRI funding in the new European ESG Regulatory Framework. The final section of the book discusses legal and regulatory issues including an exploration of blue finance and its incorporation into EU financial strategy. This edited collection will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working in green finance, sustainability, energy economics and financial law.
Reviews
“In the past decade EU leadership has been clearly established in ESG and SRI strategies. By contrast in the United States, the field has been increasingly met with politically motivated backsliding. This book is the antidote to skepticism and resistance. It is an essential overview, covering the full spectrum of topics for practitioners and policymakers alike, demonstrating in a clear and compelling fashion why ESG integration and SRI has been, and will continue to be, a powerful force for sustainable development.(--Laura Berry, Mutual Fund Director, Foundation Trustee and Shareholder Advocate, New York City, U.S.)
Driven by a multidisciplinary approach this book is about systematizing the economic and legal framework and policies of the Sustainable Development Goals. The authors provide valuable insights on how to enable stakeholders from small island states up to strong European economies to enable financing sustainable growth.(--Viola Heutger, Rector Magnificus, University of Aruba)
This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to gain greater insight into how the EU is approaching sustainable development and how the integration of ESG strategies is transforming this space. With an in-depth analysis of the ESG framework, SRI strategies, and their connection to sustainable development, this book is an indispensable resource for policy-makers, regulators, educators, and the corporate world. Highly recommended for all those interested in European development.(--Scheherazade S. Rehman, PhD, GW Deans Professorial Fellow of International Finance, Professor of International Finance (GWSB) & Professor of International Affairs (ESIA), The George Washington University, USA)
