Abstract

Sustainable business and investments are gaining widespread attention in recent years. Institutional investors and companies are undertaking measures to integrate sustainability in their business operations. In fact, modern tools and techniques are being constructed and implemented to conduct ESG analysis and integrate ESG factors in their portfolios. However, the pertinent role of investment bankers who assists institutional investors through their advisory services cannot be undermined. The present study attempts to comprehend the level of ESG awareness and perception of investment bankers. In addition, it attempts to comprehend the sustainability choices in the Indian market vis-a-vis the developed markets in Europe. The study entails an exploratory case study research methodology with qualitative analysis of data. Data is accrued through primary survey and secondary research conducted in contexts of India, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The results of the study are indicative of the increasing recognition towards sustainability issues among Indian investment bankers, subjected to limited availability of sustainability choices in the financial market. Conversely, innovative investment choices such as structured bonds, mandates and investment products have gained recognition in the west. The stated recommendations in this paper are expected to be immensely beneficial for policy makers, institutional investors, investment bankers and companies.
