When choosing an investment, these three principles of a corporation should be considered: environmental, social, and governance. The corporation should be concerned with environmental issues like climate change, reducing carbon emissions, pollution, energy use, waste, and conservation. Social issues like human rights, labor standards, diversity, and inclusion should be important to the corporation. Corporate governance includes relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and the communities where it operates, plus fair pay for executives and other workers, internal controls, audits, and shareholders rights.
Of course our investments should produce profits, but just as important are these ESG principles and standards of behavior. Your investments should not only benefit your pocketbook, but also be an asset to the world now and for the future.
