Ouvrage coordonné par Nicolas Mottis, et avec la collaboration de Diane-Laure Arjaliès, Valérie Bardou, Vincent Bouchet, Candice Brenet, Grégoire Cousté, Patricia Crifo, Jean-Philippe Desmartin, Loïc Dessaint, Léa Dunand-Chatellet, Geneviève Ferone, Thierry Philipponnat, Adrian Zicari. Il existe depuis longtemps des acteurs financiers poursuivant autre chose que la stricte maximisation du profit. Ils ont souvent eu de fortes convictions politiques, religieuses ou économiques, et ont cherché à utiliser leur pouvoir financier pour influencer les pratiques des entreprises vers davantage de responsabilité en matière environnementale, sociale ou de gouvernance. Mieux combiner performance financière et ESG (pour Environnement/Social/Gouvernance) est au cœur de ces approches souvent associées à l’appellation « Investissement Socialement Responsable » (ISR). Depuis quelques années et la parution de la 1re édition de cet ouvrage, cette « finance responsable » a connu un développement considérable. D’un segment de niche, on est passé au cœur des marchés financiers et rares sont les acteurs aujourd’hui en France qui peuvent ignorer complètement ce mouvement. Du coup cela pose de nombreuses questions pratiques et théoriques dans un contexte où le risque de « greenwashing » augmente. La finance responsable explose, mais on s’y perd facilement. Associant les meilleurs experts académiques et praticiens, cet ouvrage offre un panorama des enjeux théoriques et opérationnels du domaine. Il donne de nombreuses clés pratiques et pose les termes des débats critiques actuels tout en proposant des voies d’amélioration pour l’avenir. Nous l’avons voulu riche sur le fond pour des familiers du domaine et aussi accessible à des étudiants ou cadres et dirigeants simplement intéressés par le thème.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals, an increasing interest in Environmental, Social, and Governance factors, the climate crisis, stakeholder pressure, the lessons of corporate scandals, and the COVID-19 pandemic have triggered a massive change in how companies approach finance and accounting practices. From being a ‘nice-to-have’ to becoming a ‘must-have’, Responsible Finance and Accounting positions itself as a key pillar in tomorrow’s better world for business, society, and planet. In this book, leading researchers and practitioners in the field of corporate social responsibility, from the schools and corporate partners of the Council on Business & Society, give you key insights into green finance and social and environmental reporting, national, international and corporate stakes in green taxonomy and carbon tax, and triple capital accounting. It also details how to model effective and low-cost social impact reporting, ethics in finance and accounting, and strategies for microfinance and finance-related social innovation. Each insight is accompanied by key takeaways, food for thought, and micro-case study sections. This accessible book will be a valuable resource for scholars, instructors, and upper-level students across finance and accounting as well as corporate social responsibility and business ethics. It will also serve as a guide for professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of new finance and accounting practice.

This volume argues the need for a radical break with the methodological individualism that dominates economics, management and finance, asking 'How should we (re)define the concept of value?' and serving as a stepping stone for the rethinking of academic finance.

Socially responsible investing (SRI) is an investment approach that combines investors’ financial as well as nonfinancial goals in the security selection process. Technically, investors can engage in SRI either by directly investing in companies that implement corporate social activities or by investing their money in SRI funds, which apply screening criteria to select securities. The screening process applied by the SRI funds has led to controversy among academics regarding whether the use of SRI screens in the security selection process influences the financial performance of the funds. The empirical study analyzes whether or not the screening process applied by such funds influences their financial performance. Previous research mostly has focused on analyzing the performance of SRI equity funds established in the United States. The study at hand not only includes SRI equity funds, but also SRI balanced and fixed income funds established in Europe, the biggest market for SRI globally. The study provides unexpected results that are not only of interest for investors, who want to get a better understanding of the effect on the financial performance of their portfolios in case SRI funds are added. The results are also relevant for SRI fund managers, who are interested in promoting their funds and attracting (new) investors, and for academics, whose research interests are e. g., located in the fields of SRI, fund portfolio performances and market efficiencies.

La finance est en crise ; mais elle est indispensable à la vie des hommes en société. Cependant, il serait abusif de considérer "la finance" comme un tout homogène. En effet, loin de la finance conventionnelle qui fait la une de l'actualité, il existe une finance dite alternative qui tente de placer et de maintenir l'Homme au centre de son projet et à l'horizon de son ambition. Cet ouvrage, premier du genre, se propose de présenter sous forme d'études réalisées par des spécialistes du droit financier, les manifestations de cette finance alternative, les outils, instruments et techniques juridiques qui existent et qui permettent de concilier finance et humanisme. À travers l'analyse des critères de développement durable ou religieux appliqués à la finance, des monnaies alternatives, du microcrédit, de la notation extra-financière, du mutualisme et du coopératisme en finance, du crowdfunding, des fonds éthiques, du financement associatif, du financement alternatif de l'habitat ou du soutien des collectivités publiques aux entreprises, ce livre fait, en France comme en Espagne, au Royaume-Uni, en Grèce et au Canada, un tour d'horizon complet de ce segment du secteur financier souvent méconnu et qui offre néanmoins aux Hommes de réaliser leurs projets dans la perspective d'un mieux-être collectif. Pour rompre avec l'idée que la finance n'est que spéculation et prédation.

The UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment initiative has led to around a third of the world’s financial assets being managed with a commitment to invest in a way that considers environmental, social or governance (ESG) criteria.

This handbook provides an atlas of current practice in the field of responsible investment. With a large global team of expert contributors, the book explores the impact of responsible investment on key financial actors ranging from mainstream asset managers to religious organizations.
