vastuusijoituksiin

Vastuusijoituksiin, also known as responsible investing or socially responsible investing (SRI), is an investment strategy that considers environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in addition to financial returns. This approach aims to align investments with the investor's values and contribute to positive societal change.

Vastuusijoituksiin typically involves a combination of negative screening (excluding certain industries or companies deemed harmful, such as those involved in tobacco, weapons, or fossil fuels) and positive screening (actively seeking out companies that demonstrate strong ESG performance). It can also encompass shareholder advocacy, where investors use their influence to encourage companies to adopt more sustainable practices.

The growth of vastuusijoituksiin reflects increasing awareness among investors about the interconnectedness of financial performance and broader societal impacts. Many believe that companies with strong ESG credentials are often better managed, more resilient, and ultimately more profitable in the long term. This investment philosophy seeks to generate both financial and non-financial returns, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world.
