Long description: Immer mehr Verbraucher erkennen, dass Nachhaltigkeit und Finanzwirtschaft nicht zwingend Gegensätze sein müssen und dass Finanzinstitute durchaus einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erreichung von Nachhaltigkeitszielen leisten können. Gleichzeitig erkennen auch immer mehr Finanzinstitute, dass Nachhaltigkeit in der Finanzwirtschaft ein Megatrend ist, dem man sich öffnen sollte und der neben einem guten Gefühl vor allem auch spannende ökonomische Chancen mit sich bringen kann. Ist das Interesse am Thema geweckt, stellt sich im zweiten Schritt unmittelbar die Frage, wie eine nachhaltige Ausrichtung des eigenen Unternehmens gelingen kann. Im Herausgeberwerk Nachhaltige Finanzwirtschaft erläutern renommierte Fach- und Führungskräfte aus der Finanzwirtschaft ihre in der Praxis erprobten Ansätze zur Stärkung der Nachhaltigkeit in verschiedenen Unternehmensbereichen. Das Herausgeberwerk ist der ideale Begleiter für Mitarbeiter des strategischen Managements und der Nachhaltigkeitsabteilung. In den neun Beiträgen werden aktuelle Trends und Entwicklungen reflektiert und konkrete Maßnahmen zu betriebsökologischen Themen, genauso wie zu Fragestellungen der nachhaltigen Eigen- und Fremdkapitalausrichtung oder der Unternehmensorganisation vorgestellt. Es kann daher als Ideengeber sowohl für Anfänger als auch für Fortgeschrittene auf ihrem Weg hin zu einer nachhaltigeren Ausrichtung des Unternehmens dienen.

This thesis aims at studying the reliability of ratings through three complementary research questions. The first research question showed that, despite an overall agreement on the SRI definition, ESG rating is a relative concept specific to each agency as reflected by different methodologies and purposes. This indicates a possible complementary effect between agencies. The second research question confirmed a size and a location effect and provided indications of a learning effect. Build upon the result of the second research question, the third research question has shown that portfolios of high and low ESG ratings are neither associated with overperformance nor with underperformance. Besides, this question has shown that ESG ratings could not reproduce findings on specific pillar components (such as employees and customer satisfaction).

The goal of this study is to analyse the correlation between the price of carbon within the EU ETS framework and the evolution of the ESG score of various European companies. In order to find consistent data, we focus on the companies of a selected number of sectors of the Euro Stoxx 600 index. By doing so, we have found on Refinitiv Eikon Datastream, a consistent set of ESG data of companies most susceptible to have been influcenced by the price of carbon within the EU ETS. Lastly, we analyse the environmental and managerial actions companies can take and how they can impact their ESG scores in a carbon-pricing environment. As a result, we demonstrated that there exists a statistically significant positive impact of carbon price on the various ESG scores of carbon-intensive companies of the STOXX Europe 600 Index during the period 2008 to 2021.

This thesis investigates the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on the ability of large and very large publicly listed companies in Belgium to raise capital. As ESG criteria increasingly shape investment decisions, this research aims to determine whether higher ESG scores enhance a company’s attractiveness to investors and improve its capital-raising capabilities. The study employs a quantitative methodology, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis on data from 39 large and very large publicly listed Belgian companies over a five-year period from 2018 to 2022, resulting in 195 firm-year observations. The regression model explores the relationship between ESG scores and the equity-to-total-assets ratio, while controlling for factors such as company size, profitability, long-term debt level, and stock performance. The findings reveal that ESG performance does not have a statistically significant impact on the ability to raise capital for these large Belgian enterprises. This challenges the widely held belief that robust ESG practices automatically translate into better access to funding. The results suggest that other factors may play a more critical role in influencing a company’s financial health and capital-raising potential. The study contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable finance by providing empirical evidence that questions the direct financial benefits of high ESG performance, particularly in the context of large and very large publicly listed companies in Belgium.

The objective of this paper is to determine whether the supply of sustainable investments meets the demand in terms of product quantity and investor preference. Indeed, this kind of investment keeps growing increasingly. In the first part of this master thesis, we start by giving a definition and identifying the origins of the concept of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). Then, we made an analysis of the entire market, including the evolution of the offer, the market distribution and the motivations and obstacles to SRI. Afterwards, we talked about some of the points that we thought were important in the European Union's action plan. Indeed, some actions will have a greater impact on SRI supply and demand than others. After that, we proceeded to a definition of the different sustainable strategies. And we ended this part by discussing financial performance and the supply and demand for SRI. In the second part of this paper, we conducted two surveys in order to answer the question raised above. The first survey concerned the demand for SRI and was therefore conducted among investors residing in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Secondly, different from Luxembourg such as banks and asset management companies responded to our second survey on SRI offerings. Thanks to this, we were able to analyze the SRI market in Luxembourg and compare our results with the SRI market from EU that we described in our first part. Finally, after writing this thesis, we can conclude that there is sufficient supply in terms of quantity but that investor preferences are not sufficiently assessed by financial advisors. Indeed, very few investors are aware of the concept of sustainable investment, but this will change thanks to the EU action plan. One of the aims of the Action Plan will be to oblige advisors to integrate sustainable aspects into the investor profile. Financial advisors will therefore be obliged to include sustainability in discussions with their clients.

Moreover, This thesis sheds lights on the effect of the current financial crisis (that derives from the Russian-Ukraininain conflict) on European sustainable fund performance versus on European conventional non sustainable fund performance.

A second part takes the perspective of corporations, with contributions on sustainable governance, the Non-Financial Reporting Directive and the proposed Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. A third part assesses the impact of sustainable finance on prudential regulation and supervision.

Environnement, protection sociale et équité Nord-Sud sont au coeur des grands enjeux contemporains de la durabilité, transformant la responsabilité des pouvoirs publics mais aussi celle des acteurs privés. À l’égard de ces derniers, les législations se multiplient sur la scène européenne et le contentieux commence à devenir plus pointu, plus radical et plus dur aussi, en particulier sur le risque climatique.Le présent ouvrage aborde des éléments d’actualité concernant les exigences de durabilité qui s’imposent aux acteurs privés, entendus comme les entreprises, le monde financier et le marché des produits.L’ouvrage note à cet égard une évolution marquante : là où régnaient des mécanismes volontaires, soft, la vitesse supérieure est désormais enclenchée par le passage à des normes contraignantes, du hard law. Principalement sous impulsion européenne, galvanisée par le Green Deal, les normes environnementales n’attendent plus le bon vouloir du secteur économique et mettent en place, malgré de nombreux soubresauts et compromis, des exigences au potentiel véritablement transformateur. Mais toutes ces évolutions ne se déroulent pas sans heurts…Destiné à un public de praticiens et praticiennes du droit, l’ouvrage explore, sous le prisme de l’actualité récente, trois dynamiques juridiques à l’oeuvre, qui ont notamment pour ressort l’enjeu de la durabilité dans le secteur privé : la finance durable, le devoir de vigilance des entreprises et la régulation de l’usage des produits.
