Financial Social Responsibility and Socially Responsible Investment (SRI)

Wall Street New York New York
Globalization and socio-economic changes heralded attention to Financial Social Responsibility. Ever since socio-economic crises have steered social conscientiousness, yet in the aftermath of the 2008/09 World Financial downturn, the interest in understanding social responsibility in the interplay of financial markets and the real economy has reached unprecedented momentum. The COVID-19 economic fallout featuring a widening financial market performance versus real economy social volatility gap, has now exacerbated the demand for focusing finance as ultimate resilience protection in the service of society.
Financial Social Responsibility bridges the finance world and society through Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), in which securities are foremost selected for social, environmental, ethical and institutional aspects. Financial investment calculus is aligned with ethical, moral and social causes through socially responsible screenings, shareholder advocacy, community investing, and social venture capital. SRI perpetuated in the eye of the 2008/09 World Financial Crisis, given the world-wide attention to social conscientiousness and regulatory financial market reforms. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 economic fallout, Green New Deals in the Western world as well as the European Sustainable Finance Taxonomy and the Sustainable Development Goals heighten awareness for socially conscientious market choices. SRI is a means to lower emergent risks within institutionalized market systems that helps avert future socio-economic downfalls. Resilient finance is also a means to provide essential liquidity during external shocks, such as the 2019 COVID pandemic or the looming global warming crisis.
Depicting SRI during this unprecedented time of economic change holds invaluable historic opportunities for central bankers and policy makers to snapshot a crisis response to ingrain social responsibility into markets. The current regulatory changes can depict finance as resilience mechanism and inequality alleviation tool that bestows trust in the global market economy. A successful SRI implementation lowers systemic economic market downfalls with attention to the 2008/09 World Financial Crisis. Financial social responsibility also curbs social volatility and emotional fallout propensities when employed in the service of society. Finance redistribution powers harness inequality in external shocks such as pandemics and the climate change crisis.
Market and policy recommendations for central bank executives, SRI managers and financial market regulators on how to strengthen SRI and overcome unknown emergent risks within globalized finance markets and bestow market actors with trust in the global economy are provided alongside scientific publications and stakeholder engagement.
