How to use this book

Transitions pose major challenges, and finance theory is not well equipped to deal with them or to produce integrated value. Therefore, finance needs to adapt, and this book sets out how to do that. The good news is that you don’t need new corporate finance methods or models to steer companies for integrated value. You only need to incorporate social and environmental value alongside financial value in the existing methods and models.

This book takes an evolutionary approach that helps students, teachers and practitioners transition from current corporate finance based on financial value, to modern corporate finance based on integrated value.

The first three chapters set the scene for modern corporate finance, and the subsequent chapters serve to explain the different value dimensions:

  1. Explain the standard corporate finance methods: financial value

  2. Calculate the effects of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on financial value: ESG integrated

  3. Calculate environmental and social value: impact

  4. Integrate the three values in the standard corporate finance methods: integrated value.
