      abstract = {Since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis the prevailing  economic development model based on an assumption of  unlimited resources and, therefore, unlimited growth has  been increasingly put into question by academics,  policy-making agencies and even industry leaders  themselves. Climate change, general environmental and  natural resource degradation, widespread inequalities, and  systemic governance failures are pressing capitalism to  renew itself to deliver sustainable outcomes for a broader  base of stakeholders. This has become known in more  practical terms as the ESG (Environmental, Social and  Governance) and responsible investment movements. The  pressure to change how we organise ourselves as societies  and economies has implications for how large and small  corporations, public or private, are governed and to the  benefit of whom. This Handbook offers a rare combination of  pluralistic and multidisciplinary perspectives from law,  economics, finance and management, as well as an  interesting mix of latest academic thinking and practical  recommendations on ESG for boards and executive teams.  Should companies be governed and managed for the benefit of  their shareholders alone? Can companies be governed to  deliver for shareholders as well as the broader stakeholder  base? How can investors allocate capital to advance  sustainability? Part I provides a pluralistic discussion of  some of these fundamental questions besetting academics and  practitioners alike while Part II examines recent  regulatory developments and assesses what may need to  change in terms of law and regulation to both hold  companies to account for sustainability while enabling them  to continue to provide vital goods and services. Part III  of the book discusses how the different types of companies  and investors are currently facing the sustainability  imperative and incorporating ESG factors on how they  operate and invest. The concluding chapter provides an  overview of the key regulatory, ecosystem and board-level  gaps that require urgent and decisive action.
