ESG
In order to determine a potential investment in a fund or company based on ESG criteria, investors may look at a wide range of factors. Types of environmental criteria may include issues related to sustainability and climate change and how a company navigates or manages those risks. Social concerns include diversity and inclusion, human rights, animal welfare, and more. Governance criteria could include the structure of management, specific employee relations and compensation as well as executive compensation. There are a wide variety of criteria in evaluation ESG practices, and these only touch on the surface, but more and more managers are incorporating them into their due diligence processes as they see the benefits of making socially responsible investments.
