Praise for Evolutions in Sustainable Investing

"If we′re to shift our financial systems to support economic, social, and environmental prosperity, we′ll need a new generation of professionals who understand how sustainability aligns with superior financial returns. Evolutions in Sustainable Investing brings together the best of that mind–set from the pioneers and leading lights of the field. This is a rich and rewarding road map for anyone seeking to achieve long–term investment success."
Joel Makower, Chairman and Executive Editor, GreenBiz Group, and author of Strategies for the Green Economy

"A comprehensive, multifaceted examination of the underpinnings of one of the most hopeful new developments in our troubled financial community today."
Steve Lydenberg, Partner, Strategic Vision, Domini

"This book is full of illuminating insights about the development of sustainable investing in recent years, and points to directions and opportunities for the future. It captures the latest lessons from the front line of efforts to integrate sustainability into investment practice. But it also goes several steps further, exploring some of the social, psychological, and institutional dimensions of the challenge of building an investment system that is aligned with sustainability. This is where the frontier of thinking, experimentation, and learning will lie in the coming years. This book is a very valuable contribution to this evolution."
Rob Lake, Director of Strategic Development, Principles for Responsible Investment

Bernd Jan Sikken, Programme Director Finance and Sustainability, Duisenberg School of Finance; coauthor of Financing Sustainability

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Sustainable Investing is fast becoming an essential method of generating long–term returns, moving beyond the negative approaches to socially responsible investing that have dominated the field.  This book, our second on the subject, provides over 15 case studies of leading global investors and companies demonstrating how they successfully apply sustainability aspects to their core strategies.  Learn from prominent thought leaders Dan Esty and Paul Hawken among others who have contributed key chapters.  Our chapter on performance shows clearly how these strategies have been working once negative approaches are parsed out by those examining fund returns.  This book also examines in great depth what data exists, and what′s on the horizon, to best measure & capture sustainability successfully.  Regional perspectives, including 3 chapters on Asia, and focuses on Canada, Australia, Africa & India are also included, as is a look across asset classes.   

Sustainable Investing, when performed with a positive perspective, has been outperforming the mainstream, unlike negative approaches designed to match benchmark returns.  From eco–efficiency to sustainability–driven innovation and beyond, investors of all shapes & sizes need to know how best to position themselves for the radical market shifts underway.
