Abstract

This article chronologically addresses the themes of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), which are the pillars supporting the emergence of an entire approach to Green finance in both the european and global contexts. To this end, to achieve certain targets, set by the United Nations and the European Commission, measures such as Circular economy will be considered as well as use of financing instruments that enable its implementation. These are observed and described in terms of the respective functions and total amounts invested. Furthermore, to verify the effects resulting from the new sustainable practices, some analyses of empirical studies are also carried out to better understand the dynamics in the real context.
