Cardiff Sustainable Finance Research Group

We aim to be a frontier institute in international arena that cultivates a vibrant and collaborative environment for innovative and impactful research on sustainability and finance.

The World Bank (2021) defines ‘Sustainable Finance’ as “the process of taking due account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations when making investment decisions in the financial sector, leading to increased longer-term investments into sustainable economic activities and projects.”

Cardiff Sustainable Finance Research Group invites scholars working on different areas of sustainability as well as finance and promotes collaborative and transformative research to bridge the gap between broad fields of those studies. By doing so, the group engages in academic activities that directly support Cardiff Business School’s ‘Public Value’ ethos.

Aims

  • facilitate interdisciplinary research on sustainability and finance across sections, schools, and universities
  • support Cardiff Business School’s ‘Public Value’ philosophy by connecting the group’s members with outside stakeholders to inform them about their research on sustainable finance
  • promote Cardiff Business School as one of the world-leading centres for research on sustainability and finance
  • support scholars in achieving high quality and impactful research that contributes in various subject areas of sustainable finance
