Sustainable and ESG Investing – where it comes from and where it is going. 2023
Nikkei Shuppan W/Ito, T
In this book, we endeavor to precisely provide the following. A history of ESG investing, a comprehensive definition of ESG investing, and an elucidation of how asset managers and asset owners are actively engaging with ESG investing. Furthermore, we aim to explore the potential for excess returns generated through ESG investing and speculate on the future trajectory of ESG/sustainable investing. Then, we will discuss how ESG Investing has evolved into Sustainable Investing and explore the key differences between the two. By doing so, we hope to equip investors with the knowledge and insights necessary to navigate this evolving landscape effectively
