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 factors increasingly rank highly on investors' agendas.
What are ESG factors?
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
Manage risk better
Steer clear of companies which are exposed to hidden risks due to potential ESG issues.
Capture opportunities
Invest in companies that help address the world’s largest issues.
Make positive impact
Put your money towards building a better world.
Weak environmental, health and safety controls, poor business conduct and other reputational issues can bring swift and painful consequences for companies. These can pose immediate risks to companies’ bottom lines and damage returns.
Sustainable investing can, for instance:
- Sieve out companies with potential exposure to pollution lawsuits, labour disputes, fines for non-compliance or other threats to their reputation or business performance.
- Direct your money towards companies that are working on innovative solutions to important global issues, such as climate change, resource scarcity and inclusive growth.
- Mean a better likelihood of quality returns both today and in the future. Market data
has shown that the long-term performance of sustainable investments can be stronger than that of the broader market.
