This book tells the story of how the convergence between corporate
sustainability and sustainable investing is now becoming a major
force driving systemic market changes. The idea and practice of
corporate sustainability is no longer a niche movement. Investors
are increasingly paying attention to sustainability factors in
their analysis and decision-making, thus reinforcing market
transformation. In this book, high-level practitioners and academic
thought leaders, including contributions from John Ruggie, Fiona
Reynolds, Johan Rockstroem, and Paul Polman, explain the forces
behind these developments. The contributors highlight (a) that
systemic market change is influenced by various contextual factors
that impact how sustainable investing is perceived and practiced;
(b) that the integration of ESG factors in investment decisions is
impacting markets on a large scale and hence changes practices of
major market players (e.g. pension funds); and (c) that technology
and the increasing datafication of sustainability act as further
accelerators of such change. The book goes beyond standard economic
theory approaches to sustainable investing and emphasizes that
capitalism founded on more real-world (complex) economics and
cooperation can strengthen ESG integration. Aimed at both
investment professionals and academics, this book gives the reader
access to more practitioner-relevant information and it also
discusses implementation issues. The reader will gain insights into
how "mainstream" financial actors relate to sustainable investing.
This book is the first to combine the views of scholars with those
of practitioners (mostly CEOs and C-level executives) on the topic
of sustainability, technology and finance. Includes the top thought
leaders from the worlds of practice and research. Readers will gain
insights into how technology and digitalization can fundamentally
reshape the way ESG is practiced.
