ESG Investing for Explained for Beginners (Environmental, Social, Governance)

Ethical Investing, also known as Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) or Sustainable Investing, provides a positive impact on society while helping you generate long-term financial gains. It is an investing principle where investors put money behind companies with the intention of both making money and supporting companies which are making good ethical choices in areas such as the environment, social good, and governance (shortened as ESG).

In this video I walk through what ethical investing is, how you can go about finding ethical investments that fit your particular investing approach, and finally compare the returns you can expect from making ethical investments versus traditional investments. By the end of this video you should have the knowledge and tools to get started in making your own ethical investments based on whatever ethical guidelines you think companies need to meet to earn your investment. By “voting” with your dollars, you can impact how companies approach social responsibility and sustainability, encouraging them to make more forward-thinking decisions that will benefit both them and society in the long run.

I am not recommending any of the socks or funds referenced in this video; they are simply there to give you an idea of the ethical investments available to you. For the full list of socially responsible index funds referenced in the video, here is a link to the Forbes article:

  1. I can appreciate the reviwe on social reportable companies. I find it hard to make investments with that agree with my morals.

  2. ESG is just China’s social credit score system, the EU is putting it into practice and America will follow. Jesus is coming, put your trust in him…don’t take the mark.
