Abstract

Drawing on his book Business, Religion, and the Law: Church and Business Autonomy in the Secular Economy (Routledge, 2023), Matteo Corsalini offers introductory remarks on the intersection between entrepreneurial activity and religion. With the United Nations and global business players urging companies to develop environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards of good performance and thus cultivate a “social conscience” in business, what role does religion play in the sustainability debate? What happens when ESG-concerns are grounded in religious beliefs? And how could such beliefs be distorted, misused, and mobilised to advance short-term private business interests rather than long-term public value?
