The research group on Sustainability of Organizations and Management of Social Responsibility-Financial Markets (SoGReS-MF) of the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló (UJI) has developed a methodological approach to promote investments with sustainability criteria. The conclusions of the study that has tested this innovative method in the textile sector have been published in the *Journal of Cleaner Production*.

María Ángeles Fernández, lecturer from the Department of Finance and Accounting and coordinator of SoGReS-MF, emphasizes that this research, based on an application of diffuse methods of multicriteria decision-making, shows “the existence of a specific investment market that values ​​sustainability criteria”. The integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in the asset assessment process has been a widely developed and accepted procedure among socially responsible investors. However, in this process, the integration of investor preferences has not occurred adequately, according to the results of this study, which is part of the Sustainable Market Actors for Responsible Trade (SMART) project funded by the Research and Innovation line of the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union.

The main lines of work of the research group on Sustainability of Organizations and Management of Social Responsibility-Financial Markets are, in the first place, sustainable business models, sustainable finance, socially responsible investment and the qualification of agencies. In addition, they study the incorporation of sustainability into business models and business management tools, as well as the valuation of financial and extra-financial risks or corporate governance. On the other hand, this group also investigates in the analysis of the social and financial performance of companies through methodologies and valuation systems of corporate sustainability, in the evaluation of the degree of sustainability in microfinance institutions and in sustainability in higher education, in public administration and communication.
