Long term asset owners and managers, while seeking high
risk-adjusted returns and efficiently allocating scarce financial
capital to the highest value economic activities, have the
essential and formidable role of ensuring the sustainability of
return. But generally accepted financial accounting methods are
ill-equipped to provide clear signals of the risks and
opportunities created by scarce natural and human capital. Hence
many investment managers in global financial markets, while
performing due diligence on portfolio companies, examine metrics of
non-financial performance, especially environmental, social and
governance (ESG) indicators. Broken into three sections, this book
outlines the rationale for and methods used in six areas where
financial acumen has been harnessed to the goal of combining
monetary return with long run sustainability. The first section
offers an introduction to the role of finance in achieving
sustainability, and includes an overview of the six
areas-sustainable investing, impact investing, decentralized
finance, conservation finance, and cleantech finance. The methods
section of the book illustrates analytical tools and specialized
data sources essential to those interested in increasing the level
of social responsibility embedded in economic activity. The
applications section describes and differentiates each of the six
areas and their roles in advancing specific measures of
sustainability.
