W ciągu ostatniej dekady praktyki zrównoważonego inwestowania znacznie się rozwinęły. Raportowanie ESG płynnie przechodzi od dobrowolności do obowiązku. Inwestując w spółki, które osiągają wysokie wyniki w rankingach ESG, inwestorzy liczą na odporność organizacji na kryzysy i wyższe stopy zwrotu. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem inwestowania społecznie odpowiedzialnego zarówno w Polsce, jak i na świecie tworzone są nowe indeksy wykorzystujące kryteria screeningu ESG, które z kolei stanowią instrument bazowy dla produktów strukturyzowanych. Celem pracy była analiza składników nowo utworzonego indeksu WIG-ESG oraz omówienie wyników i odporności organizacyjnej spółek w odniesieniu do ekspozycji i zarządzania ryzykiem ESG. Badania wykazały, że kryteria włączenia do indeksu WIG-ESG powinny zostać zmienione w taki sposób, aby wyróżnić spółki, które dbają o mocne zarządzanie ryzykiem ESG i wykluczyć te, których wysiłki w zakresie ESG są znikome. Drugą ważną kwestią jest kwalifikowalność do włączenia. Jeżeli wszystkie spółki będą kwalifikowały się do włączenia do indeksu (rating ESG jako warunek włączenia), ograniczy to rotację składników indeksu i pozwoli na zbadanie zależności pomiędzy ewaluacją oceny ESG spółki na przestrzeni lat a jej sytuacją finansową.

During the last decade sustainable investment practices have evolved significantly. ESG reporting is moving seamlessly from voluntary to mandatory. By investing in companies that score high in ESG rankings, investors hope for the organisation's resilience to the crisis and higher returns. Due to the dynamic development of socially responsible investing both in Poland and worldwide, new indices using ESG screening criteria are being designed, which in turn are the underlying instrument for structured products. The aim of the study was to analyse the constituents of the newly created WIG-ESG index and to discuss its performance and organisational resilience in relation to ESG risk exposure and management. The research showed that the criteria for inclusion in the WIG-ESG index should be amended to recognise companies that care about strong ESG risk management and exclude those with negligible ESG efforts. The second important issue is eligibility for inclusion. If all companies are eligible to be included in the index (ESG testing as a condition for inclusion), this will reduce the rotation of the index's constituents and allow the relation between a company's ESG score after each update and its long-term performance to be explored.

The EU Restructuring Directive (2019/1023) requires Member States to provide a preventive restructuring framework for financially distressed entities that remain viable or are likely to readily restore economic viability. The first step to a successful restructuring is the approval of an arrangement between the debtor and creditors. The main research objective of the article is to identify factors affecting the conclusion of an arrangement in restructuring proceedings. In the process of filtering companies initiating a restructuring procedure, these factors are seen as increasing the probability of concluding an arrangement between debtor and creditors. Moreover, an additional research objective is to construct a turnaround prediction model aimed at assessing the probability of a conclusion of an arrangement in restructuring proceedings. The study covered the companies in Poland for which restructuring proceedings opened between 2016 and 2021 ended with the approval of an arrangement, and a similar number of companies that failed to restructure successfully. Binary logistic regression was applied to achieve the aims of this study. The results show that two financial variables affected companies in terms of their chances to conclude the arrangement: the current ratio and return on assets were among the statistically significant indicators and they are characterized by higher values for debtors reaching the arrangement with their creditors. A direct positive relationship was also identified between the company’s lifespan and the outcome of the proceedings. The probability of the conclusion of the arrangement was also affected by the type of industry. Models assessing the probability of completing restructuring proceedings with an arrangement can be useful for insolvency practitioners and financial analysts during viability assessments.
