What is ESG investing?
ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing is about making sure everyone involved with a business is treated well, including employees, regulators, the environment, and local communities. This is thought to help businesses grow faster and find solutions that benefit everyone. ESG investing looks at these important factors that could affect investment value, helping to find good companies. It gives investors more insight to make smarter investment choices and lets them support causes they care about, such as fighting climate change and promoting diversity and ethics in business.
Uncover Financial Opportunities
You can make a difference without comprising your financial goals. Investments incorporating ESG (environmental, social, governance) factors have outperformed the broader market. Even though 2022 proved to be tough for investors with a sustainable or ESG focus the long-term picture still looks strong. That’s not all, a lot of independent scientific research has been done on the financial merits of incorporating ESG factors into the investment process. The general conclusion is that it adds value.
Influencing Positive Change
We engage as active owners because we are convinced that when companies adopt environmental and social practices they become better businesses, which benefits investors, society and the planet. We consider active ownership as one of our important and powerful tools to promote environmental and social characteristics.
Considering the Next Generation
Consumer behaviour increasingly reflects a noticeable shift towards sustainability. Especially younger generations have a stronger focus on sustainability and are adapting their consumption and purchasing behaviour accordingly.
