Abstract
This chapter, which draws on my long-standing scholarship in this field, examines how
the financial sector shapes the environmental performance of the economy, focusing on the ebullient movement for socially responsible investing (SRI). The principal thesis
is that the financial sector has generally negative environmental connotations, both
in its own right and in regard to the companies it funds, and so far SRI’s influence
on improving the sector’s impact has been modest but is improving. The role of legal
governance in facilitating and hindering SRI is assessed as a variable relevant to the
influence of SRI.
