Abstract
The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) imposes on investment companies the publication of sustainability related profiles of the portfolio creation process. This obligation seeks to enhance the information provided to customers on financial products with regard to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. In order to understand to which extent this information is relevant for investment decisions, the reliability of the classification among funds with a different ESG focus (articles 6, 8, and 9) is studied from a financial perspective and verified through a hierarchical cluster analysis on principal components of the performance measures of various funds distributed in Europe.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
