Finanzmärkte stellen in erster Linie Märkte zur Geldbeschaffung dar, auf denen Nachhaltigkeit kaum eine Rolle zu spielen scheint. Trotzdem reagieren Finanzmärkte auch auf Forderungen nach mehr gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung von Unternehmen. Welche Rolle spielen dabei soziale Gerechtigkeit und Umweltschutz wirklich? Antworten geben in diesem Sammelband ganz unterschiedliche Akteure und Beobachter des Finanzmarkts: Experten aus Banken und Ratingagenturen, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Vertreter der Politik und der Zivilgesellschaft. Sie diskutieren, welcher Anreize oder auch politischer Rahmenbedingungen dieser Markt bedarf, um auch im globalen Maßstab zum Wohl von Mensch und Umwelt ausgerichtet zu sein. Und sie erkunden, wie die Investoren selbst Unternehmensentscheidungen hin zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit zu befördern können.
