About this book
This book offers a rigorous examination of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration within corporate finance, bridging key gaps in existing academic research.

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.
