Sustainable investing focuses on ESG factors for longterm value creation from "summary" of Institutional Investment Management by Frank J. Fabozzi
Sustainable investing is a strategy that places emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors when making investment decisions. This approach is not solely focused on financial returns, but also considers the long-term impact of investments on society and the environment. By incorporating ESG factors into the investment process, sustainable investing seeks to create value not only for investors, but also for the broader community. ESG factors are seen as critical indicators of a company's overall performance and risk profile. Companies that perform well on ESG metrics are believed to be better positioned to weather long-term challenges and capitalize on opportunities. As such, sustainable investing aims to identify companies that are not only financially sound, but also demonstrate a commitment to sustainable business practices. Investors who engage in sustainable investing are motivated by more than just financial gain. They are driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the world and promote sustainability in the companies they invest in. By aligning their values with their investment decisions, sustainable investors can influence corporate behavior and drive positive change in the market.- Sustainable investing seeks to create long-term value for investors by considering a broader set of criteria than traditional investment approaches. By integrating ESG factors into the investment process, sustainable investors aim to generate positive financial returns while also contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.
