The research relies primarily on secondary and descriptive in the study. The study results show that India, the world’s most populous democracy, is about to launch a SSE in 2021 which will serve as a mediator between social enterprises that need funding and investors who are willing to invest their money and by designing and providing robust solutions which transform the habit of charity into a culture of social investment. Exchange focuses more on the development of the ecosystem, emphasizing policy and regulatory advocacy where Social ends and profit motives do not contradict each other. This implies profit generation for social purposes is a key sustainability feature. SSE should be a means for the markets to serve the society not for society to serve the markets.","PeriodicalId":45546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment","volume":"13 1","pages":"1394 - 1414"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43518236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there has recently been an increasing interest among DFIs in gender-lens investing, these efforts have been somewhat blind to the question of women’s unpaid work and have not yet led to a stronger investment focus on the care economy. Adopting what has been defined by other feminist scholars as a transformative approach to care, this article analyses the potential transformative effects of private sector investments in the care economy by DFIs to help build more resilient and gender-equitable economies following the global COVID-19 pandemic. The authors find there is significant potential for DFIs to approach investments with a more strategic gender- and care-lens and contribute to the recognition, reduction, redistribution, reward, and representation of care work, in line with their objective to promote sustainable socioeconomic development in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":45546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment","volume":"12 1","pages":"704 - 723"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47991080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earlier, the banks maintained the storage and counting of coins, but the storage was not safe. Then started the concept of lending with interest. The banking system has completely revolutionised the system, and made it easier to transact online. In this study, the main aim is to understand the banking services and how it impacts the level of satisfaction. To conduct the study, a questionnaire was circulated, containing two sections. The first section contains a set of 16 questions containing demographic- and services-related question. Section 2 contains 24 questions, showing a Likert scale to measure the level of satisfaction of the customers. One hundred ten customers of State Bank of India, SBI Branch Gurgaon and Haryana responded to the questionnaire. Different tools such as factor analysis and reliability tests were conducted to find out the relationship between customer behaviour and banking services.","PeriodicalId":45546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment","volume":"13 1","pages":"678 - 699"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46500502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These ARs could affect the companies’ capital development, and subsequent GHG emissions. The event-study is paired with a probit regression analysis of annual fossil fuel companies’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, to ascertain whether divestment is viewed as a material risk to capital expansion. This analysis finds a statistically significant negative average AR for divestment announcements on event day negative one and a statistically insignificant three-day cumulative average AR. Furthermore, this study finds that a 1% decrease in the average or cumulative average AR is associated with a statistically significant increase in the probability that firms disclose divestment. Therefore, while the overall change in GHG emissions is still ambiguous, there may be evidence for divestment’s efficacy.","PeriodicalId":45546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment","volume":"13 1","pages":"1451 - 1479"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49224040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A very simple fuzzy reasoning algorithm is used to find out the similarity between DESG and NESG in this paper. A similarity graphs is generated. An edge represents a fuzzy similarity between two nodes / conditional statements. Each statement specifies fuzzy conditions under which some DESG/NESG tools are mutually similar or totally dissimilar. Examples of investing tools are Developed Markets, Emerging Markets Small Caps, Sustainability Index and Environmental Social Governance Index. The following five parameters of investing tools are Risk, Cost, Return, Drop, and Correlation.
