About the Conference:

Managerial Finance is pleased to announce that it has dedicated a special issue to the “Corporate Governance and Sustainability”. Globally, there is increased interest in ESG investing, also known as sustainable investing.  ESG [Environmental, Social, Governance] investing is where fund managers invest in companies that work towards improving the Environment, and Social problems addressing Social inequality or Governance improvements. Numerous institutions, such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, the Global Reporting Initiative, and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures are working to form standards to facilitate incorporation of these factors in the investment process.
