About the guide, ESG and Impact Investing 2021 

This guide, published by Lexology and accessible to esela members, aims to help investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers and others to understand the evolving global landscape surrounding environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing and impact investing. The entrepreneurial and financial paradigm is shifting towards a vision of matching profit with the pursuit of social or environmental impact. With a focus on the most recent and upcoming regulatory and policy developments in this area, the contributors to this volume examine how their respective jurisdictions legally address ESG, impact investing and purpose-driven companies, and explore how non-governmental organisations and networks are supporting and promoting the transition to responsible finance and business.

esela - The legal network for social impact is a non-profit global network of lawyers and allies, working to create a sustainable and inclusive economy that promotes positive social impact.

We are interested in the role of the law and lawyers in reshaping legal systems and practice for good through impact investing, social entrepreneurship, business and human rights, the response of business to the climate emergency, 'profit with purpose' and related disciplines.
