As sustainable investing becomes increasingly mainstream, there are more and more opportunities for investors to choose solutions that align with both their financial goals and their sustainability preferences.
The preservation of the environment has risen to the top of the agenda for governments, corporations and individuals around the world. There is good reason for this.
The role of social factors in sustainable investing may be less intuitive than that of environmental or governance factors but it is no less crucial. Social issues, if left unaddressed, can have a detrimental impact on investment returns.
