Gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Unternehmen und ihren Investoren

Zur Geschichte einer gemeinsamen Infrastruktur

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Unternehmen in Deutschland

Zusammenfassung

This chapter focuses on the historical development of the informational infrastructure which enabled the social responsibility of both companies and investors. The informational infrastructure had its point of origin in various and often individualized initiatives in the United States. Nowadays, like sustainable investing, informational infrastructure is considered mainstream in the conventional financial market. Even though those who made sustainable investments also suffered losses during the financial crisis, their type of investment can increase the growth in this investment segment; like the Vietnam War, consumer protection initiatives or the Anti-Apartheid Movement in the past century. They all played an important role in promoting sustainable investing.

Stefanie Hiß und Sebastian Nagel danken der Volkswagenstiftung für die Förderung der Nachwuchsgruppe „Nachhaltigkeit und Finanzmarkt – institutionelle Arrangements und Perzeptionsmuster“ (2009-2015) und dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) für die Förderung des Forschungsprojekts „Doppelte Dividende – Beitrag des nachhaltigen Investierens zur Stabilisierung des Finanzmarkts“ (2015-2018). Beide Förderungen haben die Entstehung dieses Beitrags mit ermöglicht.
