Alexandre Garel's Website

Welcome to my personal website. I am currently an Associate Professor in Sustainable Finance at Audencia Business School and  Affiliated Researcher at the HKU's Research Institute on Governance, Environment and Social issues. My research focus on corporate finance, behavioral finance, climate finance, and biodiversity finance. I am particularly interested in the voting behavior of ESG funds, the ESG engagement of institutional investors, biodiversity dependence and transition risks, and the lack of market discipline on climate commitments.  

I served as scientific advisor for several finance-related projects in the industry. I have been a member of the scientific committee of Iceberg Data Lab and currently serve on the scientific committee of a consortium of French institutions  initiating two large biodiversity funds. I am also a qualified expert for the FIR (French Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment).
