Towards sustainable finance: there will have to be a path

There are realities beyond our control that have a high impact on our lives and therefore on society. Climate change is one of those consequences, which we have been dealing with through sustainability from a financial perspective.

If we review a bit of history, the origin of ethical investment is in the United States, where after the Vietnam war students demanded - for the first time - that universities and companies halt their military spending.
