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).

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.

Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion, The: Theory And Practice
This volume provides the definitive treatment of fortune's formula or the Kelly capital growth criterion as it is often called.The strategy is to maximize long run wealth of the investor by maximizing the period by period expected utility of wealth with a logarithmic utility function.Mathematical theorems show that only the log utility function maximizes asymptotic long run wealth and minimizes the expected time to arbitrary large goals.In general, the strategy is risky in the short term but as the number of bets increase, the Kelly bettor's wealth tends to be much larger than those with essentially different strategies.So most of the time, the Kelly bettor will have much more wealth than these other bettors but the Kelly strategy can lead to considerable losses a small percent of the time.There are ways to reduce this risk at the cost of lower expected final wealth using fractional Kelly strategies that blend the Kelly suggested wager with cash.The various classic reprinted papers and the new ones written specifically for this volume cover various aspects of the theory and practice of dynamic investing. Good and bad properties are discussed, as are fixed-mix and volatility induced growth strategies.The relationships with utility theory and the use of these ideas by great investors are featured.

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.
