What Is ESG Investing?

By Joe Appleton on Jan 10, 2022 10:25:00 AM

Socially responsible investments are becoming more and more popular. ESG investing is arguably one of the most important forms of modern investment. ESG investors are forward-thinking investors who carefully consider a company’s impact and influence over environmental issues, social cohesion, and governance strategies, as well as financial returns. Of course, financial dividends are also important to ESG investors, however, an ESG investor is more concerned about the long-term sustainability of a company rather than short-sighted financial returns.

Environmental: The E in ESG

By Joe Appleton on Dec 2, 2021 12:26:12 PM

The “E” in ESG stands for Environmental. The state of the environment and the importance of environmental protection is constantly addressed in mainstream media, and it’s an important part of governmental policy, with far-reaching effects that influence the decisions of ordinary citizens too. Governments and citizens are working to limit environmental damage and improve our living conditions, and private enterprises should also do what they can to help mitigate the effects of climate change.

Social: The S in ESG

By Joe Appleton on Dec 1, 2021 6:00:00 PM

The “S” in ESG stands for Social. Unlike the letter that precedes it (Environmental), Social is much harder to define. In fact, different research houses and institutions have different definitions for it, and some include specific criteria while excluding others. It’s a loose but flexible term that essentially covers all things that could (or should) influence a company or portfolio’s overall social good factor.

Governance: The G in ESG

By Joe Appleton on Nov 26, 2021 8:00:00 AM

The “G” in ESG stands for Governance. Governance can be defined in several ways, depending on the context. For some entities, Governance can be defined as the rules and regulations that a company or business must adhere to. A good example of this could be how local governments conform to rules from larger bodies, such as the European Union, strictly following policies and governing with these laws and rules in mind. However, for the most part, Governance in ESG refers to something entirely different.
