This working paper is part of the 'Corporate Responsibility, market valuation and measuring the financial and non-financial performance of the firm' research project. This is a joint project between Cranfield School of Management, SDA Bocconi School of Management and Vlerick Leuven Gent Business School, on behalf of the European Academy for Business in Society (EABIS).
This paper examines the way new investor led collaborative initiatives are
impacting on the integration of ESG information into mainstream investment
processes and their potential to influence the standard valuation and investment
practices of global fund managers. The objective is to identify how different
approaches –be it collaborative initiatives, research platforms or incentive systems–
contribute to the evolution of conventional investment practices and the integration of
ESG information into the long-term shareholder value of investee companies.
