What is sustainable investment?

Sustainable investment, also known as socially responsible investing (SRI), is an investment strategy that seeks to achieve financial returns while also considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The goal of sustainable investment is to support sustainable businesses and industries, promote sustainable practices, and encourage positive social and environmental outcomes, while also generating a financial return. This type of investment seeks to align an investor's values and beliefs with their investment portfolio. Sustainable investment strategies can include investing in companies that prioritize sustainability, renewable energy projects, or green bonds, among others.
