Women view sustainable finance more positively than men

Four diverse business professionals sit around a dark wooden conference table in a modern office with floor-to-ceiling windows with blinds, each holding papers and appearing to discuss financial documents in a collaborative meeting.
Research area:FinancePerceptionSurvey data collection

What the study found

Women generally perceived sustainable finance more positively than men. Men tended to assess sustainable finance more strongly through the lens of financial knowledge, meaning their judgments were more tied to financial literacy confidence.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors conclude that gender perspectives should be incorporated into the promotion and communication of sustainable finance. The study suggests this because men and women appear to evaluate relevance, impact, and trustworthiness differently.

What the researchers tested

The researchers used survey data from approximately 1,300 respondents to examine gender-based differences in perceptions of sustainable finance. They analyzed how men and women evaluated the relevance, impact, and trustworthiness of sustainable financial practices.

What worked and what didn't

The findings indicate that women generally rated sustainable finance more positively. The abstract also states that men tended to judge it more through financial knowledge and confidence in financial literacy. No other comparative results are described in the available summary.

What to keep in mind

The abstract does not describe detailed limitations, sampling details, or the specific survey instrument. The summary is limited to the information provided in the abstract.
