Chapter Chapter 32 in Investor Relations and ESG Reporting in a Regulatory Perspective, 2022, pp 255-259 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is yet not clear how non-financial reporting can completely be integrated and all the practicalities surrounding ESG. However, we explore the different methods in this chapter. Responsible investing is more straightforward and can be separated into ethical investing and sustainable investing. The two methods are similar, as investment decisions are based on non-financial reporting factors. In a way, it judges a company more intensely on corporate governance and influences its non-financial reporting standards on an investment level. Major institutional investors and regulators have embraced ESG development with the framework from the early pioneers. As a result, we see a highly established field that all companies must seriously consider. To illustrate various phases of major institutional investors’ views on ESG development for the past decade, we have outlined the communication development of the largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock and the world’s largest investment fund, Norway’s sovereign wealth fund.
