Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing is a way to evaluate companies based on their impact and practices beyond just financial performance. It considers how a company cares for the environment (like reducing pollution), treats people and communities (social aspects), and manages itself ethically and responsibly (governance). Investors use ESG criteria to support companies that align with their values and are likely to be sustainable over the long term. This approach aims to promote positive societal and environmental outcomes while still seeking financial returns.
