Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The rapid evolution of sustainable finance, which in the space of a few years has gone from being a product of niche to mainstream, leaves some questions open about the potential risks of greenwashing. • Green bonds are the dominant issue type in the sustainable bond market. They they are characterized by a consistent greenium, i.e. a premium price compared to comparable browns with the theory of investor preference and the incorporation of protection into the bond price offered by environmental risk factors. • For corporate bonds, the market recognizes the discount only in the presence of a certification issued by a third and independent body about the greenness of the issue. • ESG investment funds represent the most significant component of the finance market sustainable. The empirical evidence reveals that they do not achieve significantly different performances compared to non-ESG comparables. • ESG funds are characterized by less volatility, especially in times of crisis, which can be attributed in part to the function of protecting against ESG risks and in part to the greater stability of the flows that make them characterizes. • The environmental impact of these funds is limited to thematic ones on climate and clean energy, considering the objectives set by the Paris Agreement as a benchmark
