What is sustainable investing?
Sustainable investing means using environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, along with financial metrics, to assess what you invest in. No longer mere buzzwords, ESG increasingly ranks high on investors’ agenda.
Why it matters today
We are living in times of environmental and sustainability changes, from climate change to income inequality. This makes sustainable investing more important than ever. As investors, we have the power to use our capital to make a positive difference.
How it adds value to your portfolio
Sustainable investing is a way of future-proofing your portfolio. It can help you:
Manage risk better
Avoid companies which are exposed to hidden risks due to potential ESG issues.
Capture opportunities
Potentially generate long-term returns.
Make a positive impact
Put your money towards building a better world.
