Abstract

This chapter explores the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into legal and financial frameworks to promote sustainable development, focusing on Kerala, India. Drawing on qualitative insights and policy analysis, it examines Kerala's decentralized governance model, legal mandates, and financial strategies supporting ESG adoption. It highlights mechanisms such as green finance legislation, ESG-based credit ratings, and sustainable investment practices. Challenges such as non-standardized ESG metrics and risks of greenwashing are identified alongside opportunities for digital innovation and regulatory reform. The chapter contributes both theoretical depth and practical tools for subnational ESG implementation, offering guidance for policymakers, academics, and financial institutions.
