Introduction
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing is no longer a fringe concept. Individuals and institutions alike are recognizing that companies with strong ESG practices often exhibit resilience and long-term growth potential. In 2021, global ESG assets surpassed USD 35 trillion, accounting for over a third of all professionally managed assets1.
Benefits of ESG Investing
Risk Mitigation: Companies that treat workers fairly and minimize environmental impact may be less prone to lawsuits or scandals.
Long-Term Value: Many socially responsible firms focus on sustainability and innovation, leading to competitive advantages.
Investor Satisfaction: Aligning investments with personal ethics can foster a deeper commitment to long-term goals.
Challenges to Consider
Data Quality: Evaluating ESG metrics can be complex, as standards vary across industries.
Greenwashing: Some companies market themselves as “green” without meaningful action.
