Ines Chaieb receives the S&P Global Academic ESG Research Award

Professor Ines Chaieb received the S&P Global Academic ESG Research Award from The Journal of Impact & ESG Investing (JESG) for her paper “Nature Risk Management in Domestic and Foreign Institutional Investments”, co-authored with Lucie Lu (University of Melbourne) and Vihang Errunza (McGill University).

This research demonstrates that institutional investors manage nature-related risks differently in domestic and foreign investments, avoiding high physical risk firms more in their home countries while favoring biodiversity-dependent firms, whereas they adopt the opposite strategy abroad.

The S&P Global Academic ESG Research Award recognizes significant contributions to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) research, with a particular focus on hypotheses addressing the opportunities and challenges of physical climate risks in terms of both mitigation and adaptation.

Ines Chaieb is a Professor of Finance at the Geneva Finance Research Institute. Her research focuses on international asset pricing, global investment, emerging markets, risk management, and financial intermediaries.
