Sustainable investing - solution or greenwashing?

ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ trend report on sustainable investing globally

Sustainable investing has become an increasingly prominent force within financial markets. Many investors are swayed by the possibility of generating financial returns and simultaneously catering to the growing demand for greater emphasis on the environment, social, and governance (ESG) scores of companies.

This report takes an in-depth look at this issue, asking the question of whether sustainable investing lives up to its stated aims. It provides chapters detailing what sustainable investing is, what is driving the growth in sustainable investing, whether sustainability affects financial returns, and how differing regions’ sustainable investing regimes differ.
