ESG - Prevalence & Relevance

Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") investing is a type of long-term investing that assesses a company's ethical contribution to all relevant stakeholders. It is one of the most rapidly growing techniques of long-term investing. Portfolio designs that include investors' moral beliefs, institutional missions, and social and environmental purposes meet additional investing demands. ESG is not a novel notion; a corporation's social responsibilities have long been acknowledged and articulated in terms of corporate social responsibility ("CSR"). Both ESG and CSR, as components of corporate governance, increasingly overlap in their application. The fundamentals of ESG and CSR are the same: organisations adopting practises and policies that are intended to have a good impact on the world.
