‘This edited volume presents an excellent contribution to the emerging area of sustainable and responsible investment (SRI), especially as it focuses on developing countries. It is a useful resource for researchers, policymakers, international development agencies, practitioners and university students. It presents an encyclopedic coverage of the main issues on SRI. I am glad to endorse this book and recommend it to everyone interested in understanding SRI in developing economies.’

‘At a time when issues pertaining to sustainable and ethical investment are assuming increasing global priority, this book could not be more relevant. Focusing on sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) in developing economies, the book fills a gap in the development and finance literatures with expert and incisive analysis of the relevance of SRI to sectors such as banking, insurance, energy, tourism and agriculture. It will prove to be an essential resource for investors and policymakers as well as everyone else who is concerned about how private investment can be aligned with environmental sustainability and social objectives. I strongly recommend it.’
