Where Ethics Matters in Finance Ethics & Trust in Finance, Global Prize Awards 2018 – 2023  contains twenty-nine papers which have been short-listed in three successive editions, spanning from 2017 to 2023, of the global contest “Ethics and Trust in Finance for a Sustainable Future”, among them eleven winning contributions. 

We are happy and proud to be able to introduce this volume – already third in the series – to a wider public, in a moment where the need for more ethics and more care for the Common Good are especially present.

The authors of the essays reassembled here have devoted time and energy to structure their thinking about aspects of broadly understood financial activities that pose ethical questions and generate dilemmas. By doing so they have contributed to advance ethical analysis by clarifying the relationship between very specific issues or contexts and fundamental values.
