Abstract

This chapter focuses on the birth and evolution of sustainable finance. The main steps that have been taken in the last century in this sector are retraced. Over time, in fact, the perspective of investors has increasingly broadened towards assessments that go beyond the portfolio’s risk and return profile and which include the principles of investment ethics. We will first focus on the steps, not only regulatory, which have been most decisive for the growth of the sector. The second part focuses on the empirical evidence of the impact of ESG integration on the assessment of financial performance and on the fundamental role of ESG disclosure as a strategic management tool for a company.
