Published ESG investing content

What is ESG investing means considering more than money when evaluating an investment opportunity, by looking beyond the bottom line and focusing on how a company runs, how it treats its people and its stakeholders, and how it impacts the environment.

Outlined ESG factors

Examples include: Environmental: Climate change, water pollution, water scarcity, greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel reduction, carbon footprint, renewable energy, deforestation, and air pollution. Social: Poverty, hunger, diversity and inclusion, employee safety, mental health, employee engagement, data privacy, employee treatment and compensation, ethical supply chain sourcing, customer service performance, and consumer protection. Governance: Ethical standards, leadership effectiveness, executive behavior, board integrity, executive compensation, political contributions, lobbying, hiring practices, shareholder rights, and risk management.

Described ESG screening methods

Negative or Exclusionary Screening: Investors exclude industries or companies that conflict with their values or sustainability goals – for example, those involved in fossil fuels, tobacco, weapons, or environmental damage. Positive or Best-in-Class Screening: Instead of simply avoiding certain sectors, investors actively seek out companies that perform better than their peers on ESG parameters. Thematic or Impact Investing: This focuses on specific sustainability themes such as renewable energy, clean water, waste reduction, or affordable housing. ESG Integration: In this approach, ESG data is woven directly into the investment decision-making process, alongside financial metrics such as revenue growth and profitability. Active Ownership and Engagement: Investors don’t just buy shares and step back – they use their shareholder influence to encourage better ESG practices.

Highlighted ESG reporting standards

The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has released new global ESG reporting standards to provide a uniform framework. The new IFRS Sustainability Standards demand detailed disclosures on environmental impact and sustainability practices throughout the global supply chain.
