Responsible investing
Responsible investing is an approach to investment that considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in addition to financial considerations.
Responsible investing
Responsible investing has increased in popularity in recent years as investors have become more aware of the risks associated with climate change and other ESG issues.
This type of investing takes into account how a company’s activities affect different stakeholders, such as employees, customers, suppliers and the communities in which they operate. It also looks at a firm’s carbon footprint and other environmental impacts.
By taking these factors into account, responsible investors can make more informed decisions about where to invest their money. This can help avoid companies that are likely to face financial or reputational risks from ESG issues, and instead invest in those that are well-positioned to prosper in a sustainable economy.
There are a number of different approaches to responsible investing, but all share the common goal of integrating ESG factors into investment decision-making in order to generate long-term sustainable returns. Responsible investing strategies can be applied to a wide range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, private equity and real estate.
