EFICO is a research group that focuses its attention on the study of sustainable finance, corporate governance, gender diversity on boards of directors and experimental economics. It aims to analyse, study, research, train and transfer knowledge, among others, within the framework of the ESG principles (environmental, social and governance) and within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations through the 2030 Agenda. The team of researchers that make up this group is specialised in the discipline of corporate governance and financial, economic and control decision-making. This team pays special attention to the sustainability and transparency of socially responsible companies, as well as strategic decision-making in organisations. Moreover, it analyses the impact of gender diversity on the decision-making and control bodies of listed companies, mainly at the European level, as well as on the determination of economic-financial decisions in said companies. Likewise, the creation of wealth and sustainable value over time without depleting resources or causing damage to the environment plays an important role, and in this context,...EFICO is a research group that focuses its attention on the study of sustainable finance, corporate governance, gender diversity on boards of directors and experimental economics.

Likewise, the creation of wealth and sustainable value over time without depleting resources or causing damage to the environment plays an important role, and in this context, sustainability plays a crucial role. In this sense, there are already many companies that have integrated sustainability into their corporate strategy, with a prominent presence in finance to provide investors with "non-financial" information through the sustainability reports prepared. In addition to risk and return, responsible and sustainable investing is governed by investors' ethical and prosocial attitudes. The aspects that define investor preferences are difficult to identify in real markets, which is why numerous studies have been developed in the controlled environment of an experimental economics laboratory. The experiment methodology allows issues to be investigated at both individual and group level when there are no real databases. In this way, the implementation of experimental financial markets in the laboratory will help to understand and identify the factors that determine individual behaviour related to sustainable investment. This research group has been actively working for years, as shown by its scientific publications and innovative projects granted and funded in public competitive calls. Part of the results of its research have been presented in high-impact publications, and in addition, they have also generated knowledge transfer results for the business network through different projects to enhance business innovation, granted by the Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI).
