Demystifying Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG): Charting the ESG Course in Africa (Palgrave Studies in Impact Finance)

​Addressing an issue at the vanguard of global interests in business and development, this book is the first comprehensive book on the planet that addresses ESG wholistically. It combines academic and practical content through multidisciplinary analysis, integrating economics, statistics, finance, strategic management and mathematics with an African focal point. The book argues that ESG is in large part within the interest of the firms/companies themselves, along with benefitting the larger society by which they exist. It also makes it everyone’s responsibility to play a part in addressing global climate challenges. Thus, the book views the survival of the corporations, economies and the larger societies as interlinked. It’ll be of interest to researchers, policymakers and business persons in and outdoor of Africa.
