#ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing has surged in popularity as more investors, especially younger ones, seek to align their financial decisions with personal values. Unlike #CSR, which is company-driven, ESG investing holds businesses accountable to external standards, focusing on environmental sustainability, social issues, and ethical governance. #Investors can approach ESG by avoiding certain industries, supporting leaders in ESG practices, or actively engaging with companies. As businesses embrace ESG transparency, investors can make informed decisions that drive both financial returns and positive global #impact.

ESG is becoming a more common topic in financial services, with many firms incorporating it into their operational and investment strategies. Funny enough, a friend asked me in the pub earlier this week, “What actually is ESG?” It's about moving beyond traditional short-term financial gains and taking a closer look at the risks to long-term performance - like how well a company is positioned for the Net Zero transition. While some see it as a trade-off, it's quite the opposite. Businesses can achieve stronger financial outcomes by considering wider risks and prioritising all stakeholders—not just short-term shareholders. Research from Conscious Capitalism, for example, shows that taking care of people can genuinely drive profit. Is anyone else exploring ESG investment? I’d love to chat more. #ESGInvesting #SustainableInvesting #EthicalInvesting #ESGTrends #GreenInvestments
