Finance is evolving—from a passive allocator of capital to an active driver of systemic change.
At the Leonardo Centre, our Impact Finance Lab researchers are harnessing our 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 our thinking, this research theme explores how business behaviours shape shareholder value— it's the beginning a roadmap for those ready to lead a behavioural revolution in investment decision making.
