About the Book

Evolving out of the ethical, socially responsible investment waves of the recent past, Sustainable Investing involves the conscious strategic integration of extra-financial factors for the purpose of minimizing risk and generating long-term financial returns. With climate change and the imperative of sustainability transforming the world's capital markets, Sustainable Investing has already been outperforming the mainstream, and concerned investors need to know how best to position themselves for potentially radical market change.

In essence, Sustainable Investing is fast becoming the smart way of generating long-term returns. With conventional investors now scrambling to factor in issues such as climate change, business ethics and human rights, this book captures a turning point in the evolution of global finance. Bringing together leading practitioners of Sustainable Investing from across the globe, this book charts how this agenda has evolved, what impact it has today, and what prospects are emerging for the years ahead.
