A Closer Look at ESG Investing
The “ESG” in ESG investing stands for “environment, social, and governance.” ESG investing is synonymous with socially-responsible investing, impact investing, and other kinds of values-related investing.Though ESG investing has been around in some capacity for a few decades, it began to take off as an emerging investment type in the 2010s.
