The book is organized into four parts, introducing the key concepts and theoretical models necessary for understanding its structure. First, the chapter reinterprets ESG investment through the lens of Max Weber’s ethics, positioning environmental, social, and governance factors not merely as indicators but as essential “information” that shapes corporate decision-making. It also examines the differences between ESG and SRI (using Euler and Venn diagrams), addresses the challenges of greenwashing and possible countermeasures, and discusses how pension systems incorporate future value.
