Abstract

This chapter delves into the factors driving the growth of social finance, highlighting six key areas: individual perception and social influence, institutional environment and government policy, corporate governance and stakeholders, technological advancements, CEO characteristics, and national culture. It explores how personal values, social norms, and financial considerations influence investor behavior, and how regulatory frameworks and corporate governance practices promote sustainable investing. The role of technological innovations, particularly in fintech, is examined for its impact on transparency and accessibility in ESG investing. The chapter also discusses the influence of CEO leadership and national culture on the adoption of ESG principles. The conclusion emphasizes the interconnected nature of these factors and their collective impact on the expansion of social finance, redefining success by embedding long-term environmental and social sustainability into financial markets.
