‘The recent decade saw a dramatic rise in the popularity of terms ‘socially responsible’ or ‘sustainable’ and their use in many areas including finance. The terms have been widely utilized by businesses, politicians and researchers alike. The dramatic diversity in the contexts where these terms were applied blurred the understanding of what exactly meant by ‘sustainable’ finance. This book is a welcome attempt to put various aspects of sustainability and social responsibility together. It provides an impressively comprehensive taxonomy of thoughts, methods, approaches and ideas in the field. It is an excellent reference not just for researchers in the area but anyone who is open to alternative ideas to traditional finance theories and approaches.’ — Dr Alexandr Akimov, Senior Lecturer in Banking and Finance, Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Australia
