"Sustainable investment: the investment theme of the future or a niche for tree huggers? Mirjam Stuab-Bisang gives a compelling argument for sustainable investment, discussing the pertinent global issues and strategies in a manner that is both informational and captivating. This book serves as an excellent guide for practitioners by identifying realistic sub-categories such as asset classes, regions, and themes, and by providing linkages to academic research and tangible case studies. A must-read for investors engaged in responsible investment."
—Wolfgang Engshuber, Chairman of UN Principles for Responsible Investment

"Mirjam Staub-Bisang could not have been more topical and timelier with her book. Players around the globe in corporations (whether for profit or not), policymaking, politics, and academia grapple with the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time. Nowhere is this more evident than at the large multilateral gatherings such as the WEF or the G20. Investors, too, increasingly seek to become part of the solution. For institutional investors aiming to align their investment strategies with the issues at hand to become responsible investors, Mirjiam Staub-Bisang's book provides an excellent overview of various alternative approaches and practical examples that demonstrate that responsible investing can be done and makes a difference."
