Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a rigorous examination of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration within corporate finance, bridging key gaps in existing academic research. The author reframes ESG not as a peripheral concern, but as a strategic imperative in contemporary corporate value creation. Drawing on recent theoretical advances and



empirical findings, it analyses how ESG factors influence capital costs, financial performance, risk management, and long-term competitiveness for companies. The book is an essential reading for researchers and finance scholars wanting to deepen their knowledge on the topic.
