Environmental, Social and Governance "ESG" factors are measures that investors or shareholders can use to assess a company's risk and sustainability.

They are important to consider when making investment decisions, as they help investors identify companies with the best and worst environmental, social and governance practices.

Companies with positive « ESG » profiles outperform the market over the long term because they are more sustainable and socially responsible.

Companies with negative « ESG » profiles underperform the market over the long term because their practices harm the environment and drive customers away.

For example, investors who care about sustainability will prefer to invest in companies that are committed to reducing their impact on the environment.

By doing so, these companies will gain a reputation for being environmentally conscious, which will appeal to customers looking for responsible companies.

Additionally, socially responsible businesses tend to align themselves with causes that benefit society as a whole;

This helps them attract customers who are also meant to do good things for others.

By investing in these companies, sustainable investors can help drive positive change in their industry.

Companies that focus on these three areas, namely, environment, social and governance, help to create better working conditions for employees, which leads to better morale and increased productivity.

Negative « ESG » factors create serious problems that harm business practices and drive customers away.

For example, many people think that investing in companies that pollute the environment creates a bad image of their industry or their country.

When customers walk away from these companies, it reduces their profitability, allowing a vicious cycle of effects on their industry.

Additionally, some people felt that investing in companies that use child labor or forced labor creates bad business practices for their country or industry.

Although some platforms indicate which investments have a good or bad « ESG » profile, other platforms choose not to take « ESG » values ​​into account when making investments.

Some people believe that reviewing « ESG » metrics can be time-consuming and unreliable compared to other metrics such as the price/earnings ratio (P/E).

Others feel that looking at « ESG » values ​​can be misleading because there is no standard way to measure them across industries or countries, making comparisons difficult and unreliable overall.

Overall, examining the environmental, social and governance factors of an investment allows investors to make more informed decisions about corporate practices.

In conclusion, companies with positive “ESG” profiles outperform the market over the long term because they are more sustainable and socially responsible, while companies with negative “ESG” profiles underperform the market over the long term because their practices harm the environment and distant customers.

It is important for investors to keep up to date with industry news so that they can make informed decisions about sustainable practices when making investments.
