This book challenges current financial models and practices, and suggests that a new paradigm is emerging, which makes sustainability a realistic approach for financial institutions and markets. It provides a broad outlook of the integration of sustainability in the financial sector. It has thematic diversity: various subjects are covered in this rich set of original essays. The depth of analysis is innovative and forward-looking, and spans a wide range of issues and countries. It suggests that a paradigm shift has already started in the financial world and is visible in many ways. It brings together contributions written by academics and practitioners, in order to provide the reader with several viewpoints originating from different spheres.What has prompted the shift toward sustainability in numerous financial areas? Can investors' mindsets be changed to embrace a long-term view? Can shareholders and activists play a greater role in encouraging financial actors to behave more responsibly? These are some of the relevant topics that are explored in this forward-looking set of essays.
