Created in 2007 on the initiative of the Association Française de la Gestion Financière (AFG), the Sustainable Finance and Responsible Investment (SFRI) Chair, bringing together some twenty researchers of international repute, has been in operation for eight years. The Chair has produced numerous scientific contributions in the field of responsible finance, which are summarized here. By encouraging interaction between researchers and practitioners, the Chair is able to identify relevant areas for research and to conduct large-scale field studies. The present issue of Cahiers illustrates both these aspects, with one article on sovereign debt and another on investors’ reasons for opting for socially responsible investment.
