A Special Issue on Sustainable Finance

Sustainable finance seeks to create long-term value by tackling global issues such as climate change, pollution, depletion of natural resources, and social inequality, to name a few. The efficiency of capital markets plays a crucial role in facilitating sustainable finance. By efficiently directing capital towards sustainability goals, capital markets can promote sustainability in business operations, investment, and corporate governance. Sustainability-oriented investors can also exert pressure on companies, demanding that corporate managers focus more on sustainability goals, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders.

Given its significance, it is not surprising that sustainable finance has become an important topic. Yet, research in this area remains relatively nascent, leaving both academics and practitioners eager to gain a deeper understanding of these issues at both regional and global scales. In this context, Accounting and Finance is launching a Special Issue on Sustainable Finance.

We welcome all aspects of research in sustainable finance, including theoretical and empirical studies. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, corporate finance, asset pricing and derivatives, behavioural finance, and financial markets.
