| Abstract: | Integrating environmental, social and ethical issues, sustainable investment (SI) has grown from a niche market of individual ethical investors to embrace institutional investors resulting in GBP 764 billion in assets under management in the United Kingdom (U.K.) alone. This article examines the influence of human agency using interviews with 14 SI champions having variously been responsible for launching SI funds and changing investment processes and organizational structures to enhance SI. Interviewees were asked about their motivations and persuasive strategies, the barriers faced, and ways used to outweigh them and broader implications of SI for financial markets, as well. Presented are key categories which inform on the results and on the discussion. |
