Sustainable Investment
Sustainable Investment refers to the practice of making investment decisions that take into account environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors alongside financial returns. This approach aligns investment strategies with broader societal goals, such as promoting environmental sustainability, social justice, and ethical governance. Sustainable investments are made with the intention of supporting companies, projects, and initiatives that contribute positively to society and the planet, while also managing risks and opportunities related to these factors. The goal is not only to achieve financial gains but also to foster positive change and long-term sustainability in various sectors, including renewable energy, social enterprises, and companies that prioritize responsible business practices. Sustainable investment strategies can include negative screening (excluding harmful industries), positive screening (favoring companies with strong ESG performance), and impact investing (targeting measurable social or environmental benefits).
