Value Shifts : How Investors are Advancing Sustainability in Capital Markets
Socially responsible investment was once considered a distinct category of investment theory and practice adhered to by specialised investment professionals and dedicated funds.Now the incorporation of environmental, social and governance factors in fund mandates, asset identification, evaluation, selection, and review is fast becoming established practice. However, with the proliferation of campaigns and commitments comes a risk of increased complexity and diffusion of effort and impact.There is a need to consider whether aggregation, coordination and, in some cases, integration are a necessary step to build influence, strengthen alliances and translate aspirations into practical, legal, strategic and sustainable action.Value Shifts: How Investors Are Advancing Sustainability in Capital Markets anticipates and responds to this need to take stock of the current state of investor engagement on sustainability.It is an independent account, assessment and profile of investor-led sustainability and responsible investment movements, which serves as a platform to chronicle and explore their recent rise in influence; examine specific types of activity; and consider their current and potential role in effecting real system change.

Can one distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling. Recycling involves processing used materials into new products of the same or similar quality, while downcycling involves converting materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves creating new products of higher quality or value from used materials. Each of these processes has different environmental and economic impacts, with upcycling generally being the most sustainable option.
-
Can one distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling. Recycling involves breaking down materials to create new products of equal or lesser quality. Downcycling refers to the process of turning materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves transforming waste materials into products of higher value or quality. Each process plays a different role in the circular economy and sustainability efforts.
-
Does waste reduction go beyond waste recycling?
Yes, waste reduction goes beyond waste recycling. While recycling is an important part of waste management, waste reduction focuses on minimizing the amount of waste produced in the first place. This can be achieved through practices such as reducing packaging, reusing items, and implementing more sustainable production processes. By focusing on waste reduction, we can decrease the overall environmental impact of waste and move towards a more circular and sustainable economy.

Accounting for Social and Environmental Sustainability : A Multi-Capital Approach
For a company, managing its social and environmental performance is no longer just a matter of reducing its impact; it must also be able to assess its contribution to resolving or aggravating social and environmental problems.This book argues that the current work on accounting for sustainability has not yet given organisations a tool to integrate their performance within the planetary and social framework that conveys actual "planetary and social budgets", and that business organisations lack the possibility to go beyond incremental performance measurement. It offers an in-depth examination of multi-capital accounting, which has already been integrated within the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and will follow on from sustainability reporting.The LIFTS model (Limits and Foundations Towards Sustainability Accounting Model) used in this book combines various scientific and practical contributions to develop budgets for environmental impacts and social obligations on an organisational scale.It proposes an accounting mechanism that enables an organization to manage each of its budgets and measure variances between forecast and actual.It provides an introduction to the principles of this model and its conditions of application and describes its implementation in numerous companies. While the main audience for the book is academics, advanced students and researchers in accounting for sustainability, business and management and economics, it will also appeal to practitioners, policymakers, national standard setters, think tanks and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Understanding Urban Cycling : Exploring the Relationship Between Mobility, Sustainability and Capital
Academic interest in cycling has burgeoned in recent years with significant literature relating to the health and environmental benefits of cycling, the necessity for cycle-specific infrastructure, and the embodied experiences of cycling. Based upon primary research in a variety of contexts such as London, Shanghai and Taipei, this book demonstrates that recent developments in urban cycling policy and practice are closely linked to broader processes of capital accumulation.It argues that cycling is increasingly caught up in discourses around smart cities that emphasise technological solutions to environmental problems and neoliberal ideas on individual responsibility and bio-political conduct, which only results in solutions that prioritise those who are already mobile.Accordingly, the central argument of the book is not that the popularisation of cycling is inherently bad, but that the manner in which cycling is being popularised gives cause for social and environmental concern.Ultimately the book argues that cycling has now become a vehicle for sustaining pro-growth agendas rather than subverting them or shifting to sustainable no-growth/de-growth and less technologically driven visions of modernity. This book makes an innovative contribution to the fields of Cycling Studies, Mobilities and Transport and will be of interest to students and academics working in Human Geography, Transport Studies, Urban Studies, Urban Planning, Public Policy, Sociology and Sustainability.

What is the difference between share capital and nominal capital?
Share capital refers to the total amount of capital raised by a company through the issuance of shares to its shareholders.

Equity capital, on the other hand, is money raised by a company by selling shares of ownership in the business. Equity capital does not need to be repaid and represents an ownership stake in the company.
