Sustainable and Responsible Investment Funds and Sustainable Transition

In the context of sustainable finance, aimed at pursuing the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the 2030 UN Agenda, we find the sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) funds, asset management tools useful for orienting savings towards economic entities acting responsibly along an ESG (environmental, social, governance) scale. In fact, SRI funds collect the resources of savers and allocate them to the purchase of bonds or shares issued by ESG-compliant issuers (companies, states or agencies). This use of financial resources enhances those activities that, being well managed, do not impoverish the environmental, social, economic resources of our “common home”, but preserve them for the benefit of future generations, as required by sustainable development.
