Overview:
ESG investing involves incorporating environmental, social, and governance factors into investment choices. Governance aspects like board diversity and executive pay can influence company growth. Whereas, social factors like human rights, health inequality, and consumer protection impact long-term investments. Environmental issues, such as climate change and biodiversity, can also affect asset value. Investors use initiatives like the UN PRI and Global Reporting Initiative for ESG integration, encouraging transparency and standard reporting. To aid investors, third-party ESG analysis services provide crucial assessments, though with variations in outcomes due to the evolving nature of this process. ESG investing's growth fosters a sustainable, inclusive economy and marks a shift in investor mentality towards recognising the link between investment outcomes, societal well-being, and environmental sustainability.
