What is ESG investing?

ESG investing considers environmental, social, and governance factors alongside financial factors, evaluating sustainability and ethical impact. It identifies companies committed to sustainable practices that are likely to outperform and alerts investors to environmental or social controversies that could harm financial performance. This approach aligns investments with values and promotes positive change.

Positive Screening

Positive screening is an ESG investment approach where companies that meet certain ESG criteria are actively selected. This approach involves identifying companies that are leaders in ESG performance, such as those with a strong commitment to reducing their carbon footprint or having a diverse workplace. It supports companies that make a positive impact and potentially yields financial returns while encouraging them to improve their ESG performance.

Negative Screening

Negative screening in ESG investing involves excluding companies from an investment portfolio based on poor ESG performance or involvement in controversial activities. It helps investors align their investments with their values and avoid supporting companies not committed to sustainable practices or social responsibility. Negative screening is a powerful tool for investors seeking to promote positive change while achieving financial returns.
