Finance is no longer just allocating capital. It is shaping systemic change.
At the Leonardo Centre, our Finance for Impact researchers are harnessing the unique GOLDEN Sustainability Dataset and pioneering a behavioural approach to sustainability, moving beyond ESG ratings to analyse how specific business actions influence financial performance.
Through a series of reports - each building on our thinking - this research pathway explores how business behaviours shape shareholder value. It's the beginning of a roadmap for those ready to lead a behavioural revolution in investment decision-making.
