ESG Investing (Sustainable Investing) is growing exponentially as more investors utilize ESG and climate data and tools to support their investment decision-making.
ESG investing is the consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, alongside financial factors, in the investment decision-making process.
Environmental factors look at the conservation of the natural world, social factors examine how a company treats people both inside and outside the company and governance factors consider how a company is run. By considering ESG factors, investors get a more holistic view of the companies they back, which can help mitigate risk and identify opportunities.

But the context for ESG requirements is critical.
Many people have specific ethical desires when it comes to investing but to satisfy just those requirements, they would end up with a very narrow range of equities, which are not necessarily good long-term from a growth or diversification point of view.
