What is responsible investing?
Responsible investing is an investment strategy where the investor takes into account factors related to the environment, society and governance when making investment decisions. The goal is to achieve not only financial returns but also positive effects on the environment and society. Responsible investing aims to avoid investments in companies that, for example, pollute the environment, violate human rights or conduct unethical business.
Responsible investing can be done, for example, by choosing as investment targets companies that invest in sustainable development, environmentally friendly solutions or good governance. Investors can also use their voting power as a shareholder to influence companies’ decision-making and operations in the direction of sustainable development.
Responsible investing has gained more and more popularity among investors in recent years, and investment funds and banks also offer more and more responsible investment options. The importance of responsible investing is emphasized as climate change and other environmental challenges grow, and many investors want to promote sustainable development and responsible business with their own investment activities.
