“…No fixed term of SRI has achieved, despite the various acronyms that have been proposed by previous studies. The term of SRI has adopted several acronyms such as socially responsible investments (Syed, 2017;Michael & Iqbal, 2013;Endl, 2012;Renneboog et al, 2008;Statman, 2008;Abramson & Chung, 2000), sustainable, responsible and impactful investments (Centre for Islamic Wealth Management, 2015), and sustainable and responsible investment (Securities Commission Malaysia, 2014; Marwan & Rabiah, 2015). However, whichever term is using reflects the same fundamental aims and goals involving any type of investment processes underlined by investors' financial objectives and concerns toward the issues of ESG (Moghul & Safar-Aly, 2014).…”

“…Some specific rules were defined and organized into a dictionary to reduce the subjective influence of the researchers on data gathering and analysis. The dictionary consisted of a list of words referred to the coding categories defined drawing on previous research on ESG issues (Freide et al , 2015; Syed, 2017): (1) Society and governance, (2) climate change , (3) healthcare , (4) global compact and (5) sustainable development.…”

“…The exhaustiveness of the word list, consisting of160 keywords (in which singulars and plurals have been previously grouped), without articles, articles, auxiliaries and prepositions, was ensured using an English dictionary of synonyms and antonyms (Table 2). Keywords have been selected analyzing, as stated, the literature on the topic (Tsai et al, 2009;Dillenburg et al, 2003;Freide et al, 2015;Syed, 2017) The units of analysis (words) were organized and classified according to the five coding categories defined before. Words detection was conducted using NVivo7 software, and the selection criterion was the following, keywords which appeared at least one time in the analyzed texts, due to limited length of analyzed documents (about two pages).…”

PurposeRecently, socially and responsible investments (SRI) have constantly grown becoming a highly discussed issue. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to better understand if environmental social governance (ESG) criteria integration in investment strategies can support the transition of finance toward a more sustainable growth.Design/methodology/approachAn explorative analysis based on a multiple case study has been conducted and addressed by a content analysis on the Key Investors Information Documents (KIIDs) that the sample companies published for 2020.FindingsThe achieved results demonstrated that the case companies differently integrated ESG into their SRI; thus, if some of them are quite near to a full integration, the others demonstrated less than a full commitment with ESG. This seems to be mainly due to the different approach that asset management companies (AMCs) and/or managers have adopted for integrating ESG criteria.Research limitations/implicationsEven though the achieved results offered some interesting insights for asset managers, the explorative and qualitative nature of this study and the small sample investigated somewhat limits it.Practical implicationsAMCs, consultants and managers in developing and implementing their SRI strategy could be much more focused on the importance of ESG integration for the transition toward a more responsible and sustainable finance (micro-level) as well as a more sustainable development (macro-level).Originality/valueThe paper provides new insights into the essence of SRI strategies and their potential to contribute to sustainable development. Thus, it tries to shed new lights on the role that ESG can have to stimulate and support investment decisions and, in so doing, contributing to make finance grow more sustainable.
