Abstract
Over recent years, sustainability has been important topic of interest among researchers and practitioners in finance, evidenced by the remarkable increase in the number of research studies and regulations on the topic (Clark et al., 2015). Initiatives on sustainability include the concepts of Sustainable Investment, Sustainable Responsible Investing (SRI), Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) (Cheng et al., 2014). In addition, several reporting standards have been issued by accounting bodies to facilitate reporting of ESG based activities of firms in their financial reporting.
