Call for papers

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have become increasingly important in finance as investors and stakeholders recognize the impact of ESG risks and opportunities on investment returns and long-term sustainability. ESG factors consider a company's performance in areas such as climate change, environmental impact, human rights, labor practices, and board diversity, among others. In recent years, investors have increasingly integrated ESG considerations into their investment decision-making process, and many financial institutions have developed ESG-focused products and services. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the importance of resilience in finance, as companies with strong ESG performance have been better able to weather the crisis and protect their employees and communities.
