What is ESG investing

Contributing to a better world

With ESG investing, you choose companies that prioritize people, the planet, and society. In practice, this means these businesses focus on their carbon footprint, ensure favorable working conditions, and maintain transparency in their policies. By investing in such companies, you support their commitment to operate responsibly, helping to make the world a better place.

Comparable returns

What about the returns from ESG investing? Various studies show that applying ESG criteria doesn't necessarily have a negative impact on long-term returns or business performance. In other words, you can invest responsibly without sacrificing financial gains, making ESG investing an attractive option for those who want to invest sustainably and profitably.

Driving sustainability

ESG investing can also involve investing in larger companies that may not yet be fully sustainable but have the desire and capability to become so. By being actively involved in their transformation, you can make a significant impact as an investor and encourage sustainable progress.

Not limited to developed countries

ESG investing isn't confined to developed markets but extends to emerging and developing countries as well. These countries often have significant potential and can greatly benefit from capital to grow sustainably. By investing in nations that are actively contributing to the UN's sustainable development goals, you aid their progress and can capitalise on growth opportunities in these markets.

Preparing for the future

Companies that consider people, the environment, and society are often better prepared for the future. They anticipate sustainability regulations and manage risks more effectively, making them more resilient to incidents and often better performers in the long term. ESG investing ensures that you back companies ready for the future, contributing to more stable returns.

Investing involves risks

Investing involves risks. You could lose (some of) the money you invested. If you are going to invest, it is important that you are aware of this. Invest with money you can spare. Read more about the risks associated with investments.
