Why invest in ESG?

ESG criteria represent an evaluation paradigm in the financial sector that goes beyond purely economic aspects and includes the evaluation of the degree of compliance with specific sustainability standards. These criteria are not limited to the environmental dimension, but also extend to the social context, paying special attention to the impact on people inside and outside the organization, as well as on management, ie on the structure of management and organization.

As a result, we are talking about investments in emitting entities, securities or funds that comply  standards evaluated through the ESG rating , which demonstrates their commitment to the environment, social and governance. (Chiara Compagnucci, more at businessonline.it)
