Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapidly growing number of research studies and practitioner reports show that sustainability considerations in finance and portfolio management are attracting increased attention, both in research and in practice. This development is not surprising, since sustainable finance and investments may contribute significantly to an overall sustainable development, meeting the future generations’ needs while taking economic, environmental, and social aspects into account.
This Special Issue aims to contribute to sustainable development by presenting innovative approaches and applications and empirical findings for integrating sustainability aspects into the finance and portfolio management. The following list provides an illustrative set of topics and paper types suitable for this Special Issue but is far from exhaustive. Any questions about the suitability of a topic may be directed to the Special Issue Guest Editor.
- Methodological papers: Novel approaches for integrating and balancing sustainability aspects in decision-making processes from the finance sector (e.g., portfolio selection decisions);
- Conceptual papers: Innovative approaches on how to measure the sustainable impact on portfolios;
- Empirical papers/computational analyses;
- Systematic literature reviews: This may cover the topics listed above: literature reviews on approaches for integrating sustainability aspects into finance and portfolio decision-making situations, presentations of real-world applications/best practices, empirical studies, and so forth.
