Description
Sustainable Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing by Terrence Keeley is a comprehensive exploration of the role of business and finance in addressing social and environmental challenges. Keeley argues that while environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing has potential, its impact may be overstated, and alternative strategies with more verifiable benefits are needed. The author recommends reallocating capital to emerging "impact investing" strategies that can generate true double bottom lines. He also highlights promising civic organizations with proven methodologies for achieving widely shared benefits at scale. Keeley's solutions aim to promote more inclusive and sustainable growth, highlighting the importance of collaboration between regulators, public policies, civil society, and individuals. By examining the promises, prospects, and perils of ESG investing, Keeley provides a nuanced understanding of the complex issues involved. This book offers valuable insights for anyone looking to understand the potential of impact investing and its role in shaping a more sustainable future.
