BUSINESS ETHICS MEETS ECONOMICS: INVESTING IN CORPORATIONS THAT EMBRACE POSITIVE IMPACT
Journal Title: Global Business & Economics Anthology - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are deemed important in corporate value creation, yet their inclusion in performance is often predicated on regulatory demands. While a stakeholder perspective is advocated, business leaders and investors are uncertain about its genuine viability. With a lack of coherency to track ESG dimensions across industry sectors, barriers to clarity and transparency present challenges for sustained moral performance. We examine these concerns and offer a way forward, focusing on impact investing as the centerpiece to prompt systemic change.
