Just out! D. Burnier, @baphil.bluesky.social and I study the moral background of impact investing. How do asset managers deem impact finance moral? Intentionality, Measurement, and Transcending Opposition fuel consequentialist and deontological moral reasoning. www.socio-journal.ch/article/view...

How are things turned into assets?

We argue that #assetization requires bridging different scales: transnational ideas of asset classes need to be linked to messy local realities.

How is this done? And why does this matter?

We study #impactinvesting in the UK and Geneva to address these Qs.

Assetization requires bridging professionals on both local and global scales. For this to work, actors need to translate or valorize the issue at stake, within their own professional ecology. That’s the case for impact investing.

After five years of work, lockdowns and travels between three countries, I can finally say that I completed my PhD! I want to warmly thank again my two wonderful supervisors, @baphil & @SDubuissonquell who accompanied me throughout this journey. @UniNeuchatel @CSO_SciencesPo
