DESCRIPTION:Thursday 12 November 2026 6.30pm - 7.35pmSpeakerProfessor Augu
 stin LandierChairProfessor Amil DasguptaJoin us for the fourth lecture in 
 the Sir Oliver Hart Lecture Series\, in which Professor Augustin Landier w
 ill examine how far private finance can generate genuine social and enviro
 nmental impact — and where public policy remains indispensable.Sustainab
 le investing has several distinct ambitions: aligning portfolios with inve
 stors’ values\, changing corporate behaviour\, and delivering competitiv
 e financial returns. Yet these aims may pull in opposite directions. They 
 require different strategies\, and success on one dimension may imply givi
 ng up on another. Drawing on experimental evidence and economic theory\, t
 his talk asks what responsible investors actually seek\, how financial ins
 titutions aggregate their preferences\, and when divestment\, engagement o
 r conditional financing can alter corporate decisions.Meet our speaker and

 bout this eventThe Financial Markets Group (@FMG_LSE) is a leading centre

 le and efficient the financial system is\, how it supports the real econom
 y\, and what policy measures can generate improvements in these dimensions
 .The Sir Oliver Hart Lecture Series and the associated Conference Series w
 ere set up in 2023 to honour the distinguished British-American economist 
 and Nobel Laureate\, Professor Sir Oliver Hart. The themes of the lectures
  and conferences aim to have policy relevance and connections to Professor
  Sir Oliver Hart’s own pioneering research. The series currently focuses
  on the area of sustainable corporate governance\, i.e.\, on studying the 
 role of companies in the economy and society\, whether companies should fo
 cus solely on profits or attempt to reflect the non-financial preferences 
 of their shareholders\, and how such preferences can be reflected in corpo
 rate governance.Any questions?You can contact us at fmg.events@lse.ac.uk.W
