Abstract
In a world that faces growing challenges from climate change and social inequality, Sustainable Finance is growing in importance. Sustainable Finance, in terms of “SRI” (Sustainable and Responsible investiment) includes investiments that, in long – term perspective, integrate enviromental, social and governance criteria (ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance). It’s important deepen the following concepts: SRI and ESG. Sustainable or socially responsible investiment also know as SRI is an investment that is considered socially responsible due to the nature of business the company conducts. Aims of SRI are: - Socially responsible investing is the prctice of inveting money in companies and funds that have positive social impacts; - Socially responsible investing has been growing in popularity in recent history; Investors should keep in mind that socially responsible investments are still investiments, and be sure, to weight the potential for return into their decision. ESG is closely related to SRI, infact when we talk about ESG we mean of new enviromental, social and governance sustainability criteria for investments. Enviromental criteria conseder how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationship with employees, suppliers, customers and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls and shareholders rights. The guidelines are: ESG criteria are an increasingly popular way for investors to evaluate companies in which they might want to invest; Many mutual funds, brokerage firms, and robo – advisors now offer products that employ ESG criteria. The financial instruments that best reflects the SRI objestives and ESG criteria are GREEN BONDS; they are a type of debt issued by public or private institution to finance themselves and, unlike other credit instruments, they comit the use of the funds obtained to environmental project or one related to climate change. The most important company in Europe that issue a Green Bonds is the Spanish Company Iberdola. In Italy, among the banking group we must talk of BANCA INTESA SAN PAOLO; it twill be interesting to analize the data collected at European and Italian level.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
