Abstract

This chapter delves into the evolving landscape of social finance, which has grown significantly in recent decades as private investors increasingly focus on social goals alongside financial returns. The text explores the rationale for mandatory regulation of social finance, highlighting the potential risks of self-regulation, such as social washing and mission drift. It examines various regulatory approaches, including minimum safeguards, social risk disclosures, and the regulation of social impact, with a focus on initiatives in the European Union. The chapter also discusses the pressing needs for regulating social finance, emphasizing the importance of proportionality, sufficient scope, qualitative impact measures, and data quality. By balancing the needs of different market actors and tailoring regulation to specific social finance instruments, regulators can encourage transparency, credibility, and positive social outcomes. The chapter concludes with a summary of the key points and discussion questions to stimulate further exploration of the topic.
