Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on "Green Finance and Corporate Governance" aims to explore the intersection of two critical areas: sustainable finance and corporate governance. Green finance, a rapidly evolving field, focuses on investing in environmentally sustainable projects and businesses with the aim of mitigating climate change and promoting environmental stewardship. Corporate governance, on the other hand, deals with the systems and processes by which corporations are directed and controlled, encompassing issues such as accountability, transparency, and the rights of shareholders.
This Special Issue seeks to examine how corporate governance practices influence and are influenced by the adoption of green finance principles within organizations. It delves into the mechanisms through which companies integrate environmental considerations into their decision-making processes, including the role of boards of directors, executive compensation structures, and shareholder engagement strategies.
Furthermore, the scope of this Special Issue encompasses empirical research, theoretical frameworks, case studies, and policy analyses that shed light on the relationship between green finance and corporate governance. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, this Special Issue aims to contribute to both academic knowledge and practical insights that can guide policymakers, corporate leaders, investors, and other stakeholders in advancing sustainable finance agendas and enhancing corporate governance practices.
