    Sustainable finance has received increasing attention among organization and management scholars and within entrepreneurship. Sustainable finance comprises a wide range of investment approaches such as impact investing (Mair & Hehenberger, 2014), socially responsible investing (Arjaliès, 2010; Crifo, Durand, & Gond, 2019), and environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing (Arjaliès & Bansal, 2018). At the core, these approaches aim to create societal value beyond the mere financial return.<u1:p></u1:p>

    <u1:p> </u1:p>

    To date, the perspectives, theoretical lenses and definitions are scattered across different literatures. More research is needed on the motivations and practices of relevant stakeholders, sustainable finance practices and outcomes, the formation of fields and markets and the field-level processes and group dynamics that ensue in such settings. Thus, it is now the time to synthesize approaches, cross-pollinate ideas and create networks among the scholars in the field, and support the development of an academic community. We invite submissions from scholars who are interested in sustainable finance topics. <u1:p></u1:p>
