- GenAI for sustainable development: an inductive analysis of international organizationsPublication . Faria, Beatriz Manuel; Trocin, CristinaGenerative AI (GenAI) presents significant potential to address sustainability challenges. By offering solutions for resource efficiency, strategic decision-making, and aligning practices with sustainable development goals (SDGs), GenAI enables organizations to harmonize environmental preservation, economic growth, and societal values. Despite its promise, achieving sustainability with GenAI requires a holistic approach that considers its life cycle, including design, training, validation, implementation, and use, to address energy consumption and resource efficiency challenges. Existing research provides limited insight into the processes and strategies organizations use to integrate GenAI effectively for sustainable development. We bridge the gap by conducting an exploratory case study examining the influence of GenAI on sustainable development within international organizations. The findings aim to enhance understanding of GenAI’s dual role in driving sustainability efforts and ensuring its own sustainable implementation, contributing to environmentally and socially responsible organizational practices.

- The pricing of sustainable syndicated loansPublication . Alves, Paulo; Gonçalo, Jorge; Pinto, JoãoThis paper provides a comparative analysis of sustainable and conventional syndicated loan spreads and pricing. Using a cross-section of 24,962 syndicated loan tranches closed between 2018 and 2022 in OECD countries, we show that sustainable and conventional loans are differently priced, spreads of sustainable versus conventional loans do not differ significantly, and banks rely on contractual, macroeconomic, bank syndicate structure, and borrowers’ characteristics when pricing sustainable tranches. At the deal-level, our results do not support the hypothesis of sustainable debt financing as a mechanism for reducing firms’ funding costs. We also find that economies of scale, institutional, and information asymmetry arguments affect firms’ choice between sustainable and conventional syndicated deals.
