Chapter Chapter 1 in Information as a Driver of Sustainable Finance, 2022, pp 1-4 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The international community is increasingly recognising the need to combine economic development with environmental protection and achievement of collective goals. At the same time, market participants are progressively incorporating ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors in their decision-making process, aiming at channelling resources to sustainable projects. The European Union (EU) has long acknowledged the role of private finance in channelling resources towards sustainable activities as well as the need for regulatory measures promoting an efficient ecosystem of sustainability-related information. Against this backdrop, the present book aims to offer a systematic, updated and critical review of the ambitious EU regulatory interventions. These interventions will be read mainly through the lens of the role that information can play as a driver of transformation. In fact, all market participants need reliable and comparable non-financial information to incorporate sustainability into their decision-making process and to channel resources to sustainable activities correctly priced by financial markets.
