About the Book

The Research Handbook on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance presents a comprehensive view of a rapidly evolving area of study. Adopting a comparative approach, it goes beyond issues of sustainability and human rights, covering the whole spectrum of ESG and its regulatory developments. Astutely organized into clearly defined and thematic sections, chapters tackle classic questions relating to corporate governance, assess the current state of ESG and address important issues arising from its development. A carefully selected, distinguished and diverse cast of authors explore topics including directors’ duties and managerial decision-making, the changing landscape of investor and shareholder activism, investment and fund regulation, and ESG initiatives in international law. This interdisciplinary Research Handbook is essential reading for academics and students of law, environmental studies, and politics and public policy. Legal practitioners of corporate law, capital markets law and securities regulation will also benefit from this authoritative analysis of ESG regulatory developments.
